Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

The aim of this book is to show the potential of natural hydrocolloids and active agents to develop sustainable edible packaging materials for food preservation. For this the current and future sources of natural hydrocolloids have been reviewed along with their extraction methods impact on health and ability to form different packaging such as film casing coating mat pad etc. Similarly natural active compounds were evaluated carefully considering their sources extraction methods regulatory status and compatibility with edible packaging. The book emphasizes the recent developments in methods strategies and technologies employed to enhance the performance of antimicrobial antioxidant and bioactive packaging. The basic testing methods used to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible packaging in model media and food were discussed and carefully selected example active edible packaging applications for different food categories were provided with critical details such as the thin balance between effectiveness of packaging and sensory properties of food. As such it helps in understanding necessary parameters in designing an effective active edible packaging that is applicable to the target food category. Moreover readers are primed for the first time on how to develop a fully natural antimicrobial antioxidant or bioactive edible food packaging. This book is different from most of the similar books' avail as it provides neither methodologies about classical active packaging based on chemicals and fossil polymeric films nor is it a thorough collection of different food packaging applications. It is also not a book that concentrates on physicochemical characterization methods and engineering aspects of packaging. Instead this is a book that provides systematic knowledge about key methods of evaluating natural resources agro-industrial wastes and by-products for development of edible packaging and concentrates on concepts strategies technologies and applications of active edible packaging based solely on natural components. It is designed to share both positive and negative experiences in an emerging field that is expected to play a central role in improving food safety and quality human health and environmentally friendly practices. | Edible Food Packaging with Natural Hydrocolloids and Active Agents

Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

Pandemics and Innovative Food Systems

The debate on health nutrition and food security could not have arisen at a more opportune time. The recent pandemic has given rise to increased food and nutrition insecurity for individuals families and communities. The crisis threatened the food security and nutrition of millions of people many of whom were already suffering. We face possible disruptions to the functioning of food systems with severe consequences for health and nutrition. Pandemics create a greater burden for poorer countries and countries since they are already pressure of inadequate food supplies. With concerted action we can not only avoid some of the worst impacts but do so in a way that supports a transition to more sustainable food systems that are in better balance with nature and that support healthy diets – and thus better health prospects for all. This book aims to highlight the impact of pandemics in food systems and nutrition security.

Antimicrobials in Food

Antimicrobials in Food

Fifteen years have passed since the 3rd edition of Antimicrobials in Food was published. It was arguably considered the must-have reference for those needing information on chemical antimicrobials used in foods. In the years since the last edition the food industry has undergone radical transformations because of changes on several fronts. Reported consumer demands for the use of natural and clean-label antimicrobials have increased significantly. The discovery of new foodborne pathogen niches and potentially hazardous foods along with a critical need to reduce food spoilage waste has increased the need for suitable antimicrobial compounds or systems. Novel natural antimicrobials continue to be discovered and new research has been carried out on traditional compounds. These and other related issues led the editors to develop the 4th edition of Antimicrobials in Food. In the 4th edition the editors have compiled contemporary topics with information synthesized from internationally recognized authorities in their fields. In addition to updated information new chapters have been added in this latest release with content on the use of bacteriophages lauric arginate ester and various systems for antimicrobial encapsulation and delivery. Comprehensive revisions of landmark chapters in previous editions including naturally occurring antimicrobials from both animal and plant sources methods for determining antimicrobial activity new approaches to multifactorial food preservation or hurdle technology and mechanisms of action resistance and stress adaptation are included. Complementing these topics is new information on quantifying the capability of clean antimicrobials for food preservation when compared to traditional food preservatives and industry considerations when antimicrobials are evaluated for use in food manufacture. Features Covers all food antimicrobials natural and synthetic with the latest research on each type Contains 5 000+ references on every conceivable food antimicrobial Guides in the selection of appropriate additives for specific food products Includes innovations in antimicrobial delivery technologies and the use of multifactorial food preservation with antimicrobials
