Nanotechnology Interventions in Food Packaging and Shelf Life

Nanotechnology has revolutionized agriculture and food technology, improving the shelf-life of foods through interventions of nano materials in their packaging. Smart materials, biosensors, nanobiosenors, packaging materials, nanocarbon dots, and nanodevices address such aspects of the food industry as food safety, food security, and packaging and shelf.

Nanotechnology Interventions in Food Packaging and Shelf Life shows shows how nanotechnology has the potential to transform food packaging materials in the future. Nanotechnology applied to food packaging can increase the shelf life of foods, minimize spoilage, ensure food safety, and repair tears in packaging. It presents new innovations in nanotechnology, packaging, preservation and processing of food and food products.
