Composites Materials for Food Packaging

The book is intended as an overview on the recent and more relevant developments in the application of composite materials for food packaging applications, emphasizing the scientific outcome arising from the physico-chemical properties of such engineered materials with the needs of food quality and safety. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the strong relationship between food quality and health, and thus the request of packaging materials allowing the quality and safety of foods to be highly preserved. As a result, scientists from both academia and industry work to increase the quality of the food storage, with this book meant as a link between scientific and industrial research, showing how the development in composite materials can impact the field.

In the book, the inorganic materials employed for the preparation of composite material is extensively analyzed in terms of physico-chemical properties, environmental and reusability concerns, as well as food interaction features, highlighting the importance and the potential limitations of each approach.

Cartea este conceputa ca o imagine de ansamblu asupra evolutiilor recente si mai relevante in aplicarea materialelor compozite pentru aplicatiile de ambalare a produselor alimentare, subliniind rezultatul stiintific care rezulta din proprietatile fizico-chimice ale acestor materiale prelucrate cu nevoile de calitate si siguranta a alimentelor. Consumatorii sunt din ce in ce mai constienti de relatia puternica dintre calitatea alimentelor si sanatatea si, prin urmare, cererea de materiale de ambalare care sa permita conservarea calitatii si sigurantei alimentelor.
