Food Packaging and Preservation. Antimicrobial Materials and Technologies

  • Book

  • November 2023
  • Elsevier Science and Technology
  • ID: 5694127

Food Packaging and Preservation: Antimicrobial Materials and Technologies provides a scaffolded introduction to principles of biological science (food contamination and their effect on human health) as well as nanomaterials, natural antimicrobials and emerging non-thermal processing methods. The book's goal is to help users develop sustainable usage of these materials and technologies. It is designed to help researchers in food technology, materials science, nanoscience, and polymer science, but it will also be ideal for researchers and developers who develop antimicrobial technologies for food industry applications, in particular food packaging and the preservation of food products.

Please Note: This is an On Demand product, delivery may take up to 11 working days after payment has been received.
