Application of nanomaterials in food packaging industry: A review

Nowadays many industrial sectors are in need to improve the quality and life of their product. To make it possible the use of nanomaterials is common in these sectors like healthcare, food packaging, agriculture, etc. The utilization of nanomaterials due to their adaptable physical and chemical properties make them widely available in many sectors. To make them widely available in various sectors they need to process for applications such as in food packaging and processing industry and also have many other wide applications. This review provides the current scenario and some of the nano-based materials specially for the application of food and packaging industry. Various improvement techniques have also been discussed along with some smart solution through these nano-based materials. Some of the alternative solutions have been provided, considering negative effects of conventional nanomaterials. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
