Abstract

Recently, progress in food packaging materials has increased tremendously. From mineral based materials to biodegradable or renewable materials for continued food security and protection especially in enhancing barrier properties. This paper x-rays the technologies/techniques available for modern food storage/packaging and the comparative advantages derivable from their applications over the conventional methods. In this case, ways are suggested to ensure the substitution of olefin based polymers with renewable and compostable polymers, even edible polymers to suit recent technological advancements. With the recent age of globalisation, food packaging is receiving more and better attention. Aside just food safety and better quality by strict monitoring, adoption of polymer nanotechnology can avail new materials for packaging. The self-assembly of polymers and nanoparticles into a variety of nanostructures and nano patterns at interfaces can be utilised in this concept. For instance, by the adoption of bottom-up self-assembly and self-organisation methodologies from liquid phases. This would create thin and ultra-thin films of polymers and nano particles; which are fabricated by simple methods like dip coating, spin-coating, casting and droplet evaporation. With these, directed and controlled fabrication of thin-film based nanostructures and nano patterns on surfaces are developed. These materials exhibit enhanced mechanical and other improved barrier properties, coupled with nanosensors and the use of internet of things for tracking food condition while in storage and on transit.
