Over the past few decades the evolution of a number of science disciplines and technologies have revolutionized food and processing sector. Most notable among these are biotechnology, information technology etc… and recently nanotechnology which is now constantly growing in the field of food production, processing, packaging, preservation, and development of functional foods. Food packaging is considered as one of the earliest commercial application of nanotechnology in food sector. Around more than 400 Nanopackaging products are available for commercial use. In 2008, nanotechnology demanded over $15 billion in worldwide research and development money (public and private) and employed over 400,000 researchers across the globe (Roco, M. C. et al. 2010). Nanotechnologies are projected to impact at least $3 trillion across the global economy by 2020, and nanotechnology industries worldwide may require at least 6 million workers to support them by the end of the decade (Roco, M. C. et al. 2010). Scientists and industry stakeholders have already identified potential uses of nanotechnology in virtually every segment of the food industry from agriculture (e.g., pesticide, fertilizer or vaccine delivery; animal and plant pathogen detection; and targeted genetic engineering) to food processing (e.g., encapsulation of flavor or odor enhancers; food textural or quality improvement; new gelation or viscosifying agents) to food packaging (e.g., pathogen, gas or abuse sensors; anticounterfeiting devices, UV-protection, and stronger, more impermeable polymer films) to nutrient supplements (e.g., nutraceuticals with higher stability and bioavailability). Undeniably, the most active area of food nanoscience research and development is packaging: the global nano-enabled food and beverage packaging market was 4.13 billion US dollars in 2008 and has been projected to grow to 7.3 billion by 2014, representing an annual growth rate of 11.65% (www.innoresearch.net).This is likely connected to the fact that the public has been shown in some studies to be more willing to embrace nanotechnology in ‘out of food’ applications than those where nanoparticles are directly added to foods.

Active packaging incorporates additives into packaging films or containers to maintain and extend the shelf life of food products. It includes oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide generators, ethylene scavengers, and antimicrobial agents. Oxygen scavengers prevent food spoilage by chemically removing oxygen from packages through reactions with iron, ascorbic acid, or unsaturated fatty acids. Carbon dioxide generators and ethylene scavengers inhibit microbial growth and ripening to preserve freshness. Antimicrobial packaging prevents microbial growth through the release of compounds like ethanol or silver ions. Active packaging technologies are expected to grow significantly due to consumer demand for premium, safe, and convenient packaged foods.
This document provides an overview of antimicrobial packaging. It discusses the objectives of antimicrobial packaging which is to prevent degradation of food quality by acting as a hurdle against microorganisms.

The document summarizes a seminar on active and intelligent packaging presented by Bhavesh Datla. It discusses various types of active packaging systems that interact with the internal environment of the package, such as oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters/absorbers, ethylene absorbers, and moisture absorbers. It also describes intelligent packaging systems containing indicators that provide information on the history or quality of food, including sensors to detect gases, ripeness, temperature, or tampering. The seminar provided an overview of these emerging packaging technologies and their potential to extend shelf life and ensure food safety.
This document discusses edible films and coatings used for food packaging. It begins by introducing common food packaging materials like plastic, paperboard, and metal cans that end up in landfills. It then discusses how edible films and coatings can provide an alternative by acting as the food packaging that can be consumed. Edible films are free-standing sheets that can wrap or separate food layers, while coatings are thin liquid layers applied to food surfaces. Common biopolymers used include polysaccharides like starch, proteins like gelatin and casein, and lipids like wax. Edible packaging can help extend shelf-life by preventing moisture loss and microbial growth while providing a more sustainable alternative to traditional packaging waste.
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) involves flushing air out of food packaging and replacing it with gas mixtures to extend shelf life. Common gases used are carbon dioxide to inhibit bacteria, nitrogen to displace oxygen, and low levels of oxygen for some products' appearance. Novel gases like argon and nitrous oxide may also effectively inhibit spoilage. High oxygen MAP can prevent browning but also microbial growth. Testing shows these alternative gases may effectively extend shelf life while maintaining quality for many fresh and prepared foods. MAP requires specialized equipment to control and monitor precise gas mixtures tailored to different products.
Active packaging involves packaging materials that interact with the food or the internal environment of the package to extend shelf life or enhance safety while maintaining quality. Some common types of active packaging systems include oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters/absorbers, moisture absorbers, ethylene absorbers, and antimicrobial films. Oxygen scavengers help remove oxygen from packages to prevent spoilage. Ethylene absorbers help remove the plant hormone ethylene from packages to slow ripening and senescence of produce. Antimicrobial films release antimicrobial compounds to inhibit microbial growth. The effectiveness of active packaging systems depends on factors like the type of food and microbes, environmental conditions, and properties of the packaging material.
Aseptic packaging involves sterilizing products and packaging materials under sterile conditions to prevent contamination and extend shelf life without refrigeration. It allows foods to be stored at ambient temperatures for months. The key aspects are pre-sterilizing the product using techniques like UHT and sterilizing packaging materials using methods like heat, chemicals, or radiation. Filled packages are then sealed quickly to maintain sterility. Common packaging types for aseptic storage include cartons, bags, bottles and cans. Aseptic packaging provides benefits like convenience, food safety, long shelf life and nutrient retention compared to canning.

This document discusses flavor absorption by plastic packaging materials. It finds that polyolefins like LLDPE and PP absorb flavors to a much higher degree than polyesters like PC, PET, and PEN. Absorption is influenced by properties of the polymer like glass transition temperature and crystallinity, as well as properties of the flavor molecule like concentration, polarity, and molecular size. Higher temperatures increase absorption for all materials. Polyesters are preferred over polyolefins for packaging due to their much lower absorption.
Intelligent packaging systems aim to improve products and provide convenience to consumers. They function by detecting, sensing, recording, tracing, and communicating information. Three main types of intelligent packaging are used: quality indicators that detect freshness levels; time-temperature indicators that show appropriate storage conditions have been met; and gas concentration indicators that detect oxygen or other gas levels. These systems help to enhance safety, improve quality, and provide consumers with useful information.

international standards. This chapter inculcates biodegradability of bio-nanocomposite, antimicrobial properties,
mechanical and thermal properties for food packaging applications.
This document discusses active packaging, which incorporates components into packaging systems that interact with food or the surrounding environment to prolong shelf life and food quality. It provides examples of active packaging systems that scavenge oxygen, ethylene, or emit ethanol. The goal is to enhance food preservation through techniques like oxygen removal, carbon dioxide absorption, and antimicrobial control. Trends include reducing food waste and using more sustainable active agents, while challenges include cost and technical limitations.
250 million tons of non-biodegradable plastics are produced annually. Edible packaging includes thin edible films or coatings that are applied directly to foods and eaten as part of the food. Edible films are produced separately and then applied, while coatings are applied directly to foods.

Recent Trends in Pharmaceutical Packaging TechnologySUMIT KOLTE
The science, art, and technology of packaging involve confining or safeguarding goods for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Pharma packaging now accounts for a sizable share of the entire Indian medication market. Earlier, it was just concerned with maintaining the integrity of the medication inside. The pharmaceutical sector is the ideal setting for packaging innovation. The majority of sectors use product packaging as a way to protect and preserve goods as well as share marketing and legal information with consumers. Efficiency and intelligence in packaging, including compliance packaging, anti-counterfeit packaging, etc., have more promise in the pharmaceutical industry than in any other sector, if not more so. One of the key goals of pharmaceutical packaging firms is to keep pharmaceuticals safe from youngsters while still being accessible to elders. Self-filling a syringe can be a laborious process that takes a lot of time and increases the risk of incorrect dosages and spills. Self administered medications become more convenient and accurate with the use of prefilled syringes. NFC tags are placed to all packaging so that a customer can touch the code with an NFC-enabled mobile phone and have the audio play back on their device. The pharmacy personnel will also speak the dosage instructions to anyone who is blind or visually challenged. Robotics are typically used to automate manual processes that already exist, such as loading cartoners, horizontal form fill seal machines, or blister machines. In these situations, the benefits include greater speed, efficiency, and equipment efficacy as a whole. Additional benefits could include cheap cost, reduced injury, and eliminating rework. Robots that are incredibly consistent and accurate work around-the-clock and include features like line tracking and vision. Today's pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a lot of changes. The government and patients put pressure on medicine manufacturers to cut costs. Due to the desire for affordable medications, the market's growth has shifted from the beginning to the mature phase. Price reduction results from this. Poor patient compliance is another issue that drives up healthcare costs, and in response, drug producers and investors want to see
significantly lower failure rates and larger returns on investment.
