Sustainable Materials for Food Packaging and Preservation: Food Security and Sustainability discusses the recent trends and development of bio-based sustainable materials, focusing on their fabrication and application in food packaging and food preservation. This book brings together fundamental information and the most recent advances in the characterization, processing, and modification of sustainable materials and their impact on food packaging and storage of food products for improving their shelf life. Special attention is given to smart, active, and edible packaging, and the utilization of nanoemulsion and nanoencapsulation in the food industry is also discussed. In addition, the book reviews the use of proteins, polysaccharides, and microbial and chemically derived materials for food preservation.
