Abstract
Food packaging is essential for preserving food safety and quality while also addressing environmental concerns. Designers are at the forefront of developing packaging solutions that not only meet functional requirements but also align with evolving consumer preferences and sustainability concerns. To inform designers, this paper discusses fundamental principles of food packaging technology, encompassing aspects such as food preservation, distribution, marketing, usability, and disposal. It provides examples of innovations in active and smart packaging, nanotechnology, material biodegradability, and recyclability, as well as strategies to reduce packaging waste. By providing future food packaging designers with this essential knowledge and these insights, we hope to encourage them to contribute to future innovations that meet the needs of consumers and the environment.
期刊介绍:
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety (CRFSFS) is an online peer-reviewed journal established in 2002. It aims to provide scientists with unique and comprehensive reviews covering various aspects of food science and technology.
CRFSFS publishes in-depth reviews addressing the chemical, microbiological, physical, sensory, and nutritional properties of foods, as well as food processing, engineering, analytical methods, and packaging. Manuscripts should contribute new insights and recommendations to the scientific knowledge on the topic. The journal prioritizes recent developments and encourages critical assessment of experimental design and interpretation of results.
Topics related to food safety, such as preventive controls, ingredient contaminants, storage, food authenticity, and adulteration, are considered. Reviews on food hazards must demonstrate validity and reliability in real food systems, not just in model systems. Additionally, reviews on nutritional properties should provide a realistic perspective on how foods influence health, considering processing and storage effects on bioactivity.
The journal also accepts reviews on consumer behavior, risk assessment, food regulations, and post-harvest physiology. Authors are encouraged to consult the Editor in Chief before submission to ensure topic suitability. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on analytical and sensory methods, quality control, and food safety approaches are welcomed, with authors advised to follow IFIS Good review practice guidelines.
