The escalating global population and trend towards urbanization have led to a heightened demand for packaged food items. This places pressure on food packaging systems to guarantee food safety, and enhanced nutritional quality while minimizing waste and environmental impact. Intelligent Food Packaging: Pioneering Strategies for Sustainability, Nutrition and Food Safety address smart packaging technologies, including active and intelligent packaging, antimicrobial packaging, time-temperature indicators, freshness sensors, and barrier materials and shows their ability to extend shelf-life, maximize nutrition and promote environmental sustainability. With contributions from over 35 experts in the food sciences and divided into six sections, Intelligent Food Packaging: Pioneering Strategies for Sustainability, Nutrition and Food Safety tackles the latest research highlighting how smart packaging enhances food safety and nutrition, extends shelf-life for consumer product goods and promotes environmental sustainability while addressing opportunities for innovation in response to changing regulatory frameworks and consumer preferences. Chapter highlights include Edible Films and Coatings, Trends in Biodegradable Nutrient Sensors in Food Packaging, Macronutrient Release Systems, Bio-Based Packaging Solutions for Sustainable Food Systems, Waste Management Strategies for Sustainable Food Packaging, Advances in Smart Packing Materials and more. Case studies that highlight the latest developments for both perishable and shelf-stable foods will be included.
