Abstract

Food packaging is one of the most important in the food industry that helps in maintaining the quality of food products during storage, transportation and distribution. It is done primarily to protect food products from external influences such as biological, chemical or mechanical damage; to contain food, preserve it in its condition as packaged by preventing deterioration of quality, and to attract consumers and provide product and nutritional information. There are many packaging materials in use since then. Each type of packaging material has a different role to play in packaging. Also packaging materials such as biodegradable packaging or edible packaging may ensure the world¶s need for eco -friendly and natural foods which is a major global concern nowadays. The food packaging industry has greatly innovated with technology in recent years with the advancement of new food packaging technologies, such as active packaging, aseptic packaging, smart packaging, bioactive packaging, edible packaging which is a research trend. Advances in such packaging technology can prevent food spoilage by maintaining food standards at the highest level which can assist in meeting the needs of consumers along the food supply chain as well as meeting the requirements under the Food Packaging Law.
