Nanomaterials and nano-bio-polymers characteristics for using in meat and food packaging

Abstract

• Nano-packaging enhanced the food products shelf-life. • Nanomaterials act as active agents in package of food. • Nanomaterials improve antimicrobial activity and gas/moisture barrier of packaging. Nanomaterials have introduced transformative advancements in both the production and packaging of food products. A discernible trend has emerged in the progressive integration of nanomaterials and nano-biopolymers within the food packaging industry, driven by their capacity to enhance product quality and longevity. Among the most prominent contributions of nanotechnology to packaging is its role in significantly extending the shelf life of food items. This study examines various classes of nanomaterials and nano-based polymers, with particular emphasis on their physicochemical properties and fu
