Polymers in Food Packaging: Improving Shelf Life and Safety
Author(s): Krushna Jethalal*
Food packaging plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and quality of the products we consume. In recent years, there has been a significant
shift towards the use of polymers in food packaging, driven by the need to extend shelf life, enhance food safety and reduce environmental impact.
This innovative approach not only benefits manufacturers and consumers but also contributes to the sustainability of our planet. Polymers, which
are large molecules made up of repeating subunits, have gained popularity as a primary material for food packaging due to their versatility, costeffectiveness
and the wide range of properties they can offer. Here, we will explore how polymers are improving the shelf life and safety of food
products... Read More»
