Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit systematic and comprehensive review papers to a Special Issue on Food Packaging and Preservation.
The reviews can broadly cover novel food packaging, including but not limited to intelligent and active packaging, biodegradable and compostable packaging, hybrid and composite packaging materials for food packaging, and the application of nanomaterials in food packaging. Reviews that cover physicochemical interactions between packaging material and food, and the shelf-life of packaged foods, will also be welcomed.
Reviews falling under the theme of food preservation can cover broad scientific and technological advances/innovations in food preservation, including preservation methods (physical, chemical, and microbiological) and preservatives. Novel preservation technologies such as high pressure, ultrasound, microwave, UV, cold plasma, pulsed electric field, irradiation, and the application of natural food preservatives (e.g., polyphenols) will be considered with priority.
Prof. Dr. Benu P. Adhikari
Guest Editor
