Abstract
Spoilage of food is a worldwide concern because of poor faulty packaging material. Today the evolution of nanotechnology in the food industry provides several benefits in food preservation, food processing, and food packaging. Nano packaging has found many applications in the food industry. Nano packaging of food provides many benefits such as oxygen (O2) scavengers, moisture scavengers, antimicrobial, gas barrier properties, strength, flexibility, keeping an eye on freshness, etc. These nanomaterials help to increase the shelf life of food, and maintaining the quality without causing any alteration is a primary concern. Nano packaging made it possible to transport food globally by increasing the shelf life of food products. Nano food packaging, however, is still in the fetal stage; therefore, this review crisps the present status and recent advancement of this technology. Furthermore, address the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) in food packaging and safety concerns. The pros and cons of this novel technology will describe its usefulness and appropriateness in the food packaging industry.
