Many factors are relevant in making the proper choice of food
packaging material, including those related to shelf life and
biodegradability. To meet these demands, new processing and
preservation techniques have arisen, most notably modified
atmosphere packaging (MAP) and active packaging (AP). Modified
Atmosphere and Active Packaging Technologies presents an overview
of the current status of MAP and AP, exploring techniques,
methodologies, applications, and relevant legislation. For clarity
and easy reference, the book is divided into seven convenient
sections: Principles, Materials, Gases, and Machinery for MAP
provides a basic overview of the topic and defines modified
atmosphere, controlled atmosphere, and active packaging. Safety and
Quality Control of MAP Products examines the effect of MAP on
various foods and discusses governmental control mechanisms to
ensure food safety. Applications of MAP in Foods of Animal Origin
explores how MAP can be used in fish, meat, poultry and dairy
products. Applications of MAP in Foods of Plant Origin discusses
MAP for cereals, minimally processed vegetables, fruits, and bakery
products. Other Applications of MAP reviews MAP's use in
ready-to-eat (RTE) foods and coffee, tea, beer, and snack foods.
Active Packaging and its New Trends examines issues related to
nanotechnology and bioactive packaging. Consumer Behavior/Sensory
Analysis and Legislation covers legislation in the European Union,
the United States, and Canada and presents conclusions and new
issues on the horizon. From the very basics (films, gases,
techniques, and applications) up to the latest advances
(nanotechnology and bioactive compounds), this book covers nearly
all issues related to MAP and AP, providing an essential reference
for food scientists and engineers, agriculturalists, chemists, and
all those on the cutting edge of food packaging.
