ACTIVE PACKAGING
ACTIVE PACKAGING
• Packaging is the technology ofenclosing or protecting productsfor distribution, storage, sale, anduse
• Active packaging Incorporation ofcertain components into packagingsystems that release or absorbsubstances from or into thepacked food or the surroundingenvironment so as to prolong shelflife and sustain the quality, safetyand sensory characteristics of thefood.
Examples of active packaging systems
Active packaging system
Oxygen scavengers
Mechanisms
1. iron based2. metal/acid3. metal (e.g. platinum) catalyst4. Ascorbatemetallic salts5. enzyme based
Food application
bread, cakes, cooked rice, biscuits, pizza, pasta, cheese, cured meats and fish, coffee,snack foods, dried foods andBeverages.
Active packaging system
Ethylene scavengers
Mechanisms
1. potassium permanganate2. activated carbon3. activated clays/zeolites
Food applications
fruit, vegetables and otherhorticultural products
Active packaging system
Ethanol emitters
Mechanisms
1. alcohol spray2. encapsulated ethanol
Food applications
pizza crusts, cakes, bread,biscuits, fish and bakery
ACTIVE PACKAGING
• Active packaging includes additives or freshness enhancers that are capable of scavenging
• Oxygen
• Adsorbing carbon dioxide
• Moisture
• Ethylene or flavour/odour taints
• Releasing ethanol, sorbates, antioxidants or other preservatives
• Maintaining temperature control.
Active packaging applications:
• Absorbing/scavenging-oxygen, carbon dioxide, moisture, ethylene, flavours, taints, UV light .
• Releasing/emitting-ethanol, carbon dioxide, antioxidants,preservatives, sulphur dioxide, flavours, pesticides.
• Removing-catalysing food component removal: lactose, cholesterol.
• Temperature control-insulating materials, self-heating and self-cooling packaging,microwave susceptors and modifiers, temperature-sensitive packaging.
• Microbial control-UV and surface-treated packaging materials.
Goal of active packaging
• The goal of active packaging in conjunction with other food processing and packaging is to enhance preservation of contained food and beverage products.
• For example, to optimize the effects of oxygen scavenging, oxygen should first be removed from the product during processing and packaging operations.
• TRENDS• Reduce the food waste: extend shelf life, monitor
food spoilage.• Incorporation of natural active agents into more
sustainable packaging material.
• CHALLENGES FOR ACTIVE PACKAGING• High cost• Technical limitations: preservation of material
properties, integration.
Conclusion
• Active packaging is an emerging and exciting areaof food technology that can confer manypreservation benefits on a wide range of foodproducts.
• The objectives of this technology are to maintainsensory quality and extend the shelf life of foodswhilst at the same time maintaining nutritionalquality and ensuring microbial safety.
