Nanosized Additives for Enhancing Storage Quality of Horticultural Produce

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Edible Food Packaging

Abstract

Use of nanosized materials for preventing spoilage and active packaging of horticultural produce has increased rapidly over the past two decades. Nanoparticles, like metal oxides, nanoemulsions, and nanocomposites, have the ability to enhance mechanical and barrier properties while acting as antimicrobial agent. The presence of higher surface to volume ratio provides better contact with the microorganism and consequently long-lasting antimicrobial efficacy. Present chapter encompasses recent advances in the area of application of nanosized additives for antimicrobial activity, and nanocomposite active and smart packaging of fruits, vegetables, and flowers are presented. The material used, preparation techniques, characterization, efficacy, and degradation are discussed. Moreover, there is little knowledge regarding the pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and pharmacodynamics of nanomaterials in humans, but still there are many conceivable advantages of such technology. Developments on regulatory aspects and specific directives for the same have been included.
