Biomaterials in Food Packaging

<p><em>Biomaterials in Food Packaging</em> presents up-to-date research on the applications and development of the packaging materials that originate from biological resources. It discusses the advances made in bioactive biodegradable edible films and nano-based smart materials for food packaging applications that can be a substitute for their synthetic counterparts to enhance the food’s shelf life significantly. It not only encompasses a comprehensive overview of environment-compatible and biodegradable biomaterials but also highlights the recent trends in their applications in food packaging. The book is a valuable reference for researchers undergraduate and postgraduate students academicians educators industry scientists and general readers seeking bio-based materials for food packaging applications.</p>
