Nanocomposite Materials for Food Packaging Applications: Characterization and Safety Evaluation
Abstract: Food packaging requires long shelf life and the monitoring of safety and quality based on international standards. In the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a new class of food packaging materials, because they have several advantages, such as enhanced mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties. The larger surface area of nanoparticles compared with their microscale counterparts favours filler–matrix interactions and the performance of the resulting material. A new technology is accepted by the community once it has been tested for its effects on health. There have been some studies on the migration of nanoparticles from packaging material into food/food simulants during storage. It is very important to evaluate the safety of nanocomposite packaging materials used for food products. This review summarizes the characteristics and properties of nanocomposite packaging materials along with their safety problems for food consumers.
