Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue entitled "Latest Advances in Active Materials for Food Packaging and Their Application", which will elucidate the dynamic development of food packaging and its integration with active materials for enhanced preservation and safety. This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative research that combines material science, chemistry, and engineering to create packaging solutions that extend shelf life, minimize spoilage, and safeguard food quality. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, we aspire to catalyze advancements that bolster food quality, extend shelf life, and address crucial sustainability challenges.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Innovative active materials exploration for enhancing food packaging efficiency and safety.
- The development of sustainable packaging solutions using cutting-edge materials.
- The integration of smart technologies in active food packaging for real-time monitoring.
- Advances in barrier materials to prevent moisture, gas, and light interactions.
- Consumer perceptions and acceptance of active packaging solutions.
- Integration of multi-omics preservation technology in food packaging: exploring comprehensive approaches for enhanced food quality and safety.
- Safety and regulatory considerations in the application of active materials in food packaging.
- Systematic evaluation of the environmental impacts on the life cycle of new packaging materials and quality evolution of packed foods.
- Collaborative efforts between material scientists, food technologists, and packaging experts.
We look forward to receiving your contributions. Your research will not only enrich our understanding of active materials in food packaging, but also drive innovation towards safer, more efficient, and eco-friendly food preservation methods.
