Abstract

Nanomaterials possess antimicrobial as well as high gas barrier properties with excellent physical and chemical characteristics, and therefore, most market companies have increased investment to develop food packaging alternatives. The technological advances in food packaging are managed mainly by nanotechnology. It manipulates and produces products of industrial and scientific interest, on a nanometer scale. Specific nano-based materials having active functional abilities increase shelf life of food and its quality and safety. The food packaging industry has embraced the “nano” era to satisfy the growing need for safe and cost-effective goods for customers. Numerous unknown related danger features characterize the latest scientific enforcement in nanotechnology for food applications. The versatility of nanotechnology in foodstuffs defines its application range. Effective compounds amalgamation, i.e. anti-microbial products, preservatives, oxygen and water vapor absorbers, and solvent extractors, makes nanomaterials more powerful in improving food products’ shelf life and consistency.
