This book is an updating of Food Packaging and Preservation, Theory
and Practice published in 1986 by Elsevier Applied Science. Since
that date, many things have changed in the world. Hence the name
given to the first IFTEC meeting held at the Hague (NL), November
15-18, 1992 Food Technology for a Changing World. Is the world
changing for better or worse and what can food technology improve?
The keynote lecture of the IFTEC meeting dealt with hunger and the
challenge it represents to food science and technology. In the
preface to the 1986 book it was suggested that food packaging could
solve some of the problems of crop preservation in countries where
starvation is prevalent. However, such thoughts did not solve any
problems. The famine is still spreading in Africa. The unbalanced
north-south situation evoked in the 1986 preface has not improved.
The international market of foods and agricultural products is
constantly changing and food packaging scientists can only explore
new ways to help cope with this. Some of these ideas are approached
in this book, particularly in chapters 9, 10 and 12.
