Enormous number of packaging techniques has been developed so that we can enjoy food throughout the year. The new-age packaging can not only provide safety or works as a barrier to the food, rather it is capable of preserving essential nutrients in them and also efficient in incorporating healthy bioactive compounds to food through diffusion. It can also detect any unwanted deterioration of food without opening the package and without using any lab equipment. Of these, novel benefits are contributed by the newly developed packaging technologies like intelligent/smart packaging, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging, use of nanotechnology in packaging, sustainable packaging, and bioactive packaging. This chapter has compiled and interpreted research studies for last 5-years citing principles and applications of these recent innovations in food packaging technologies.Read More
