Nanoparticles and food Packaging A review of novel way to control pathogens

Social changes, globalization, packaging life cycles, and the requirement for strict safety measures are increasing the pressure to produce new packaging systems, able to transport food items and that also allow the traceability along the food distribution chain. Consumers have increasingly interested in ready-to-eat commodities with fresh-like and healthy attributes. This manner is the reason of raising the commercialization of minimally processed foods. In fact, the Applications of polymer nanotechnology can provide new food packaging materials with improved mechanical barrier and antimicrobial properties, together with nano-sensors for tracing and monitoring the condition of food during transport and storage.
