A Review of Nanofiber Coating Technology for Future Food Packaging

Abstract

This brief review explores the burgeoning field of antimicrobial nanofiber coating technologies, poised to redefine the standards of food packaging for enhanced safety and longevity. With the global imperative for reducing food spoilage and extending shelf life, this paper highlights the revolutionary role of nanofibers infused with antimicrobial agents. These cuttingedge coatings promise not only to actively combat microbial growth but also to maintain the sensory and nutritional quality of food products. By integrating insights from recent studies and technological advancements, the review underscores the necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists, industry experts, and policymakers. The aim is to accelerate the development, scalability, and regulatory approval of these innovative materials, thereby setting a new benchmark for futureproofing food packaging against microbial contamination.
