Advances in Edible Packaging Systems for Food Preservation: Processing, Bioactive Agents and Preservation presents a comprehensive exploration into the innovative field of edible packaging for food preservation. The book examines cutting-edge solutions designed to extend shelf life and enhance the safety of foods derived from meat, eggs, milk, plants, cereals, fish, and seafood. Through a detailed analysis of current processing methods and the integration of bioactive agents, readers gain insights into how edible packaging systems are revolutionizing food technology. Covering both traditional and emerging practices, the text is essential for professionals and students seeking a deeper understanding of sustainable packaging.

In addition to its thorough overview, the book delves into the impact of emerging technologies like cold plasma, ultrasonication, electrospinning, high-pressure processing, 3D printing, and pulsed light on packaging development. It discusses alternative film materials sourced from insects, fungi, and algae, and evaluates innovative bioactive agents such as novel peptides, nanoemulsions, nanoparticles, and nanofibers. The engineering challenges, environmental implications, and consumer perceptions associated with edible packaging are also explored, making this resource invaluable for those in food science, agriculture, nutrition, and related fields.

Provides critical insights from available literature on edible packaging
overs the role of emerging technologies, alternative film materials, novel bioactive agents, engineering aspects, environmental impacts, and consumer perception
Explores the environmental aspects, social perception, and acceptance of edible packaging
