Smart Food Packaging explores how technology transforms food packaging from a mere container into an intelligent system. This system actively enhances food safety, extends shelf life, and reduces global food waste. The book delves into the science behind food spoilage, such as microbial growth and oxidation, and how intelligent packaging can disrupt these processes. A key focus is on integrating biotechnology with packaging to create biosensors capable of detecting contamination, thus safeguarding public health.
The book progresses from the historical context of food packaging to the sophisticated technologies used today. It examines various intelligent packaging forms, including sensors and active packaging components. For example, it discusses oxygen scavengers for shelf-life extension and time-temperature indicators for monitoring product quality.
By providing concrete examples and case studies, the book emphasizes the practical implications of intelligent packaging, making it a valuable resource for food scientists, packaging engineers, and policymakers interested in the future of food safety and sustainability.
