Requirements for innovative food packaging

Changes in the way food products are produced, distributed, stored and retailed, reflecting the continuing increase in consumer demand for improved safety, quality and extended shelf-life for packaged foods, are placing greater demands on the performance of food packaging. Nowadays varieties of packaging materials with different properties for different product packaging are available. Thus, the selection of appropriate packaging for particular food product becomes more difficult than ever. Three basic functions (storage, preservation, and protection) of food packaging are still required today for better maintenance of quality and handling of foods. However, following the evolution of modern society and lifestyle, the significance of several functions of packaging is also shifting from one aspect to another.
