This ACS Symposium Series book evolved from the ACS symposium "Food
Additives and Packaging" sponsored by the Division of Agricultural
and Food Chemistry (AGFD) at the 245th ACS National Meeting &
Exposition in New Orleans, LA, April 7-11, 2013. The book helps
readers understand the rules and regulations governing the use of
food additives and food packaging materials in the U.S. and
globally. Furthermore, the book investigates novel materials and
applications related to food additives and food packaging materials
and explores concerns, issues, and current events in the field. The
book particularly highlights global regulations, research,
development, applications, and evaluation of food additives and
food packaging materials. These areas are dynamic, constantly
changing, and expected to attract the interest of a broad and
diverse readership. Part I of this book highlights how food
additives and packaging materials are classified and regulated in
different parts of the world and addresses some of the scientific,
legal, and practical issues related to these regulations from the
perspective representatives. It contains monographs on general
aspects of regulatory processes in various countries (U.S., EU,
Thailand and Japan) and specific aspects, such as GRAS substances,
color additives, enzymes, flavorings, safety assessments, and the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Part II presents some
current topics related to the research, development, applications,
and evaluation of food additives and food packaging materials, with
monographs on applying regulatory knowledge for packaging
compliance and evaluating food packaging for pre-packaged
irradiated food, and on various emerging technologies, such as a
control release packaging system and high pressure processing that
can improve the appearance, texture, taste, or shelf-life of food;
it also includes monographs that discuss other aspects, such as
bisphenol A, PET packaging materials, nanomaterials, and
biomaterials.
