This engineering book brings together two of the key strands in
food packaging: active packaging and natural, often biobased,
components. The text investigates the chemistry, effects and
technical incorporation of bioactives into different forms of
packaging. Specifically, chapters focus on techniques for
impregnating natural substances into conventional and biodegradable
food packaging materials with an emphasis on their antioxidant and
antimicrobial functions. Oxygen scavengers, plant extracts,
essential oils, enzymes, phytochemicals, polysaccharides are
investigated. Chapters discuss how bioactives are combined with
packaging to suppress microbes and improve the quality of meat,
seafood, dairy and cereal products. How bioactives affect packaging
development, such as scale-up, fabrication and labeling is
discussed, as are European and US. regulations. Some of the
highlights of the book include: Investigates migration, controlled
release, edible coatings and films. Covers preservation and safety
of many packaged foods.
