Abstract

Food packaging has been historically used to contain food, fulfilling the primary functions of containment, protection, and communication. However, these functions have not been sufficient for the food industry for several reasons. Consumers are looking for better-quality, fresh-like, and convenient food products (Ozdemir and Floros 2004), and the food industry is looking 460for an extension of shelf life of packaged food while maintaining the quality. Then the new terms smart? and intelligent? packaging appeared for different types of functional packaging systems.
