Food Science and Food Safety

Novel processing and packaging technologies

Food Packaging is the safety net that protects your product. It plays a vital role in storing food throughout the distribution chain. Deprived of packaging and the handling of food can become negotiated as it is contaminated by direct contact with physical, chemical, and biological contaminants. In present years, the growth of novel food packaging has not only improved the serviceable life of foods, but also their safety and quality product Novel processing technologies in the food industries is a direct result of consumer demand for fresh, high quality and healthy products that are free from chemical preservatives and yet are safe. The trend towards the use of “natural” constituents, (colors, flavors or preservatives) although technically demanding, has created the need for exploration into milder and further energy effective but inversely effective processing technologies that are suitable to save the structure and therefore, function and benefits of new constituents whilst at the same time maintaining the nutritive and other food product rates
