Abstract

In this chapter, a discussion on the use of various inorganic nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxides, and others is made with relevant application in edible food packaging. Further, the effectiveness of inorganic nanoparticles in preventing foodborne diseases is also discussed, where the inorganic nanoparticles can release biocide into food products. The inorganic nanomaterials are used in addition to polymer composites to improve the efficiency of the packaging materials in terms of fortified food products and nutraceutical-added food products. Further, these inorganic nanoparticles also increase the functional properties of edible bionanocomposite films. The chapter is also focused to discuss the updated knowledge in recent research on edible nanocomposites-based packaging with multiple inorganic nanofillers.
