Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food packaging plays an important role in the food production and distribution chain. Without packaging, all steps prior to filling/packaging food products can be compromised, resulting in the contamination and/or loss of food, which would result in a greater socio-economic and environmental impact. In recent years, research focused on the development of new food packaging with a focus on sustainability has been receiving great attention from the scientific and industrial community. Therefore, I would like to invite you to submit your original research for this Special Issue of Foods entitled “Recent Trends in the Development of Sustainable Materials in Food Packaging”. The scope of this Special Issue includes all aspects of research related to food packaging and stability, including theoretical and application-oriented articles, experimental and numerical studies, case studies and reviews.
Prof. Dr. Luís Marangoni
