The value of the groceries purchases in the USA is over $500
billion annually, most of which is accounted for by packaged foods.
Plastic packaging of foods is not only ubiquitous in developed
economies, but increasingly commonplace in the developing world,
where plastic packaging is instrumental in decreasing the
proportion of the food supply lost to spoilage.
This new handbook is a combination of new material and updated
chapters, chosen by Dr. Sina Ebnesajjad, from recently published
books on this subject. "Plastic Films in Food Packaging "offers a
practical handbook for engineers, scientists and managers working
in the food packaging industry, providing a tailor-made package of
science and engineering fundamentals, best practice techniques and
guidance on new and emerging technologies.
By covering materials, design, packaging processes, machinery
and waste management together in one book, the authors enable the
reader to take a lifecycle approach to food packaging.
The Handbook addresses questions related to film grades, types
of packages for different types of foods, packaging technologies,
machinery and waste management. Additionally the book provides a
review of new and emerging technologies. Two chapters cover the
development of barrier films for food packaging and the regulatory
and safety aspects of food packaging.
Essential information and practical guidance for engineers and
scientists working at all stages of the food packaging lifecycle:
from design through manufacture to recycling.
Includes key published material on plastic films in food
packaging, updated specifically for this Handbook, and new material
on the regulatory framework and safety aspects.
Coverage of materials and applications together in one handbook
enables engineers and scientists to make informed design and
manufacturing decisions.
