Abstract

The utilization of nanotechnology in the establishment of innovative food packaging materials has had a significantly remarkable enhancement in the previous years, and researches are expected to have an essential impact on the food packaging market in the coming years. Nanotechnology is the emerging engineering field of functional system at the molecular level and has the potential to play a significant role in agriculture and food security, molecular and cellular biology sensors for pathogen identification, environmental protection and allows designers to change the packaging materials on the molecular level to enhance their desired properties such as mechanical strength, temperature and moisture stability, long durability, gas barrier, and flexibility. Due to the revolution in the food packaging materials, the traditional packaging is being replaced by the active packaging, biochemical improved packaging, physically improved and smart packaging to enhance food quality and safety with the significant use of nanotechnology. The focused application of nanotechnology is utilized in food packaging because of their better balance in processing, characteristics, and overall production cost. Nowadays the country regulations and the market are claiming for sustainable higher performance of the food packages, such as longer shelf life, maximum ways of preserving the food in better conditions and shows lower environmental impact. The most promising approaches to overcome defined problems with success have been significantly achieved by preparing nanotechnology-based food packaging material, for instance, preparing nanocomposites that are based on inorganic nanoparticles and polymer matrix dispersed as reinforcement. The techniques used with high aspect ratio of nanoparticles allow adding new functionalities to traditional packaging materials, for example, antimicrobial activity, control emitter substances, and enhanced gas and water vapor barrier characteristics. The main classification of nanotechnology packaging materials and their significant functions and applications are reviewed in this chapter with safety concerns and future prospective.
