Considering the great demand for environmentally friendly packaging systems, researchers are developing solutions that consider the sustainability and economic feasibility of the process. Sustainable Biomaterials for Food Packaging evaluates the role of emerging biomaterials for food packaging systems and discusses in detail the various engineering aspects associated with packaging. The book also covers the environmental aspects, social perception, and acceptance of biomaterials packaging. It covers the sustainable packaging systems available for the preservation of all types of foods and products derived from meat, milk, fruits/vegetables, and baked goods. The book is suited for academicians, scientists, students, and food industry professionals; it will also satisfy the needs of researchers, scholars, and students at both the postgraduate and undergraduate level.
