Nanotechnology – The Future Of Packaging
Nanotechnology is a significant packaging industry trend that enables innovative packaging. This new trend has become the most fetching technology in the packaging sector, especially in the food packaging industry. North America has the largest share in nanotechnology for food packaging sold in value because of high awareness and product availability, stated Business Wire, a global leader in the press release. Cellulo Tech is one of the nanotechnology start-ups that focuses on replacing plastic coatings for different types of packaging with a renewable mono-material. Nanotechnology will raise the bar of performance of the packaging market in the coming years if industries focus on this with a planned approach.
Nanotechnology is the science of very small materials and
deals with nanoparticles and nano-systems smaller than 100 nanometres. Various
nanomaterials, such as silver nanoparticles, nano zinc oxide, and nano clay,
are introduced as functional additives to food packaging.
Applications
of Nanotechnology in the Food Packaging Industry:
Various nano-sensors are used to trace the external or
internal conditions of food products. Nano-sensors can detect gases in food
when it spoils, and as a result, packaging changes the colour to alert the
consumer. The film packed with silicate nanoparticles can reduce oxygen flow
into the package and moisture leaks to keep the food fresh. The current
technology can check the microbial pathogens in food products in 2 to 7 days.
·
Improving barrier properties: Nanoparticles are blended
with a polymer chain to refine the gas barrier properties, temperature,
humidity, and resistance of packaging.
·
Enhancing taste, freshness, shelf-life of food: The
utilization of nanomaterials is helpful to interact directly with food or the
environment for better protection of the product. It releases preservatives to
improve the shelf-life of food products.
·
Use of Smart functions: The refinement of food packaging
with intelligent functions can be performed using nanoparticles to monitor
chemical or biochemical, or even microbial development inside the food and or
the environment surrounding the product. It helps in alerting the consumers
about the safety of the product.
·
Use of Biomaterials: Biomaterials protect food and the
surrounded environment. It avoids the deterioration of food quality,
decontamination with microorganisms, changes.
·
It also addresses long-standing challenges in the food
sector to reduce waste, assess safety, and improving food quality.
