Attend this food safety webinar to understand the different active and intelligent packaging techniques which you can follow to have your food products adhere to global food quality and compliance requirements
From food safety and quality perspective, traditional packages are passive barriers to delay the detrimental environmental effects on the food product. Increased regulatory concerns, market globalization, enhanced concerns for food safety and threat for bioterrorism are few of the factors which have led to innovative food packaging materials and solutions. Active and intelligent packaging are two emerging technologies for food safety and quality point of view.
Active packaging technology extends the shelf life by allowing packages to interact with food and the environment. Active packaging involves delayed oxidation, controlled respiration rate and microbial growth and moisture migration.
Intelligent Packaging technology basically monitors and communicates the information related to food quality. Intelligent packaging technology involves smart devices such as time temperature indicators, ripeness indicators, biosensors and radio frequency identification which can be incorporated in packaging materials or attached to inside or outside of a package.
