Abstract
This book presents engineering principles for sustainable food packaging, from defining product-protection requirements to assessing industrial feasibility. It examines biopolymer resources, the molecular organisation of packaging materials, modification strategies and processing methods. Functionalisation approaches include coatings, naturally derived active compounds, multilayer structures and intelligent packaging technologies. The book describes methods for characterising mechanical and barrier properties, evaluating microbiological behaviour and monitoring food quality during storage. It also addresses experimental design and the interpretation of performance data. The final chapter considers food-contact safety, chemical migration, toxicological assessment, regulatory compliance, life-cycle assessment and industrial implementation. Throughout, packaging performance is evaluated in relation to specific foods and intended conditions of use.
