چکیده مقاله :
Food packaging plays a significant and fundamental role in ensuring food safety, thus protecting against the infiltration of foreign substances. Consequently, it serves to prevent spoilage and nutrient loss and extends the shelf life of food products. One noteworthy application of nanotechnology in the realm of food is its utilization in food packaging, specifically in the form of nanocomposites. Nanoparticles present in nanocomposites possess a larger specific surface area compared to their micro-sized counterparts, thereby enhancing the interaction between the matrix and nanoparticles and resulting in the development of unique barrier properties. Nanocomposites can be classified as a system that not only passively safeguards food against environmental factors, but also imparts favorable attributes to the packaging system, ultimately enhancing the stability of food in various ways. For instance, nanocomposites have the potential to confer active and intelligent properties to food packaging systems, such as antimicrobial characteristics, the ability to inhibit oxygen, stabilization of enzymes, and serving as nanosensors that detect the level of exposure to detrimental factors like inappropriate temperature and gases produced by bacterial metabolism. Meanwhile, bionanocomposites have garnered significant attention due to the utilization of biodegradable polymers as the matrix of nanocomposites. Among the prominent nanoparticles employed in food packaging are nanoclay, nano silver, silica, titanium dioxide nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and cellulose nanofibers. This article endeavors to investigate the key nanoparticles utilized in nanocomposites for food packaging, as well as their respective applications.
