San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 03, 2014

Follow us on LinkedIn Nanotechnology is emerging as a promising technology in the packaging industry, especially in the field of food packaging and food safety. Growing concerns over food safety issues and increased manufacturer focus on improving the shelf life of packaged foods is creating increased interest in the use of nanotechnology in food packaging. The market in the coming years is expected to benefit from the development of nano-coatings, surface biocides, bio-plastics, intelligent packaging nano-sensors, and carbon nanofibers, among others. Key benefits of nanotechnology based packaging solutions include lower product weight, superior heat and moisture resistance, longer shelf life, product traceability/tracking/monitoring, and continuous monitoring of product quality, freshness and wellness through the use of nanosensors.
