Studies focusing on food quality and shelf life continue on the packaging of food products. Food industry professionals often find it challenging to preserve food that is tasty, practical, shelf-stable, and of excellent quality. Active antibacterial packaging technologies that can handle these difficulties have been developed through research and the development of antimicrobial materials for food applications. New development technological solutions such as biodegradable materials, antimicrobial packaging edible films, smart packaging, nanocomposite packaging, and nanosensors can be used to improve food safety and shelf life. An important research area that offers new perspectives and solutions for the food industry is nanotechnological applications. Although there are many physical and chemical ways of making nanomaterials, green synthesis is also the most acceptable method as environmentally friendly materials are used. The use of green synthetic nanoparticles (NPS) in food packaging has been extensively researched. It is estimated that green synthetic NPs used in packaging will minimize the damage to the environment while simultaneously affecting and increasing its performance. In addition, the synthesis of nanoparticles has gained great importance with the use of plant extracts, non-toxicity, and non-hazardous to the environment. In an effort to lessen the detrimental effects of technological practices on environmental and human health, society is concentrating on a greener future. Another innovative synthesis used to achieve safe and active packaging is called "green synthesis," and it is mentioned here. Using such environmentally friendly active packaging can minimize product losses, enhance food safety and quality, lower the risk of foodborne pathogen outbreaks, and reduce waste all while preserving sustainability. Food packaging that is both antimicrobial and ecologically friendly has the potential to greatly benefit from the new and developing field of nanotechnology. In this article, the importance of using nanomaterials in food packaging with the green synthesis method, the role of Au, Ag, ZnO, Cu, and TiO2 metal nanoparticles on packaging due to their biological and antibacterial properties, and their therapeutic application areas are discussed.
