Couverture de l’ouvrage Nanomaterials for Food Packaging

Nanotechnology for Food Packaging: Materials, Processing Technologies, and Safety Issues showcases the latest research in the use of nanotechnology in food packaging, providing an in-depth and interdisciplinary overview of the field. Nanoscale advances in materials science, processing technology and analytical techniques have led to the introduction of new, cheaper and safer packaging techniques. Simultaneously, the increasing use of renewable nanomaterials has made food packaging more sustainable. Chapters provide a comprehensive review on materials used, their structure?function relationship, and new processing technologies for the application and production of nanotechnology-based packaging materials.

In addition, the book discusses the use of functional materials for the development of active, smart and intelligent packaging, possible migration and toxicity of nanomaterials for foods and regulatory aspects, and commercial applications.

1. Nanotechnology in food packaging: opportunities and challenges
2. Inorganic-based nanostructures and their use in food packaging (clays, silica, Ag)
3. Cellulose-based nanostructures and their use in food packaging (nanocrystal, nanowhiskers, nanofibers)
4. Bio-based nanocomposites (starch nanocrystal, chitosan nanoparticles, proteins, polysaccharides, PHB, PLA)
5. Structure–property relationships in polymer nanocomposites for food packaging
6. Production and processing of nanocomposites (melting extrusion, film-bowing, new challenges)
7. Nanostructured multilayer films (Layer-by-layer, electrospinning)
8. Active and smart packaging (antimicrobial nanocomposites, loaded nanostructures, scavenging, examples)
9. Intelligent packaging (sensors, detection of molecules, examples)
10. Potential migration of nanocomposites for foods (used testes, examples, challenges)
11. Safety and regulatory issues (health, environmental aspects)
12. Commercial applications (products in the market, patents)

Materials Scientists, and Nanoscientists working in the area of packaging technology, health & safety and sustainability.

Miguel Cerqueira holds a PhD degree in Biological Engineering from the University of Minho (UMinho). His PhD thesis was awarded for the best PhD Thesis by the School of Engineering of UMinho which was focused on edible coating and films for dairy products. In 2011, he started as a Postdoctoral Researcher aiming the development and characterization of bio-based nanostructures for food applications where he gained expertise on biodegradable films and coatings for food packaging, encapsulation of functional compounds using emergent encapsulation technologies, and on the development and characterisation of emulgels and oleogels for functional foods. Since 2011 he has been working as invited professor in the UMinho. In 2016, he joined the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory to work in the Food Processing and Nutrition group.
