Modified atmosphere and active packaging technologies [WorldCat Entities]

"Many factors are relevant in making the proper choice of food packaging material, including those related to shelf life and biodegradability. To meet these demands, new processing and preservation techniques have arisen, most notably modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and active packaging (AP). Modified Atmosphere and Active Packaging Technologies presents an overview of the current status of MAP and AP, exploring techniques, methodologies, applications, and relevant legislation. For clarity and easy reference, the book is divided into seven convenient sections: Principles, Materials, Gases."@en
""While other packaging books focus on individual types of packaging, this volume takes an applied engineering approach by matching packaging types to specific food types. The material provides unique insight into Modified/Controlled Atmosphere Packaging/Storage (MAP/CAS) and Active Packaging (AP). Depending on the kind of food, packaging material and the corresponding technique employed can both vary considerably. In appreciation of consumer focus on shelf life and safety, the book addresses a range of aseptic, smart, and modified atmosphere packaging. With the increased expense of active packaging, this resource will help product developers make cost-effective decisions early in product development"--"
