Introduction
Packaging Industry is undergoing transformation almost every day with emerging
technologies. These innovations are supported by the various stakeholders in the entire
supply chain.
There are Two Types of Food Packaging Markets base:
1, Consumer Requirements
a. Food Safety Most Important
b. Convenience Ease of Use
c. Shelf Life Required
d. Branding & Identification Requirements
e. Regulatory Requirements
2, Industrial Requirements
a. Environment Awareness LCA studies
a. Regulatory Requirements

Food Packaging - Modern Trends

Materials:
Nano-Composites

Modern
Trends

Bio-polymers

Functional

Active: actively works to preserve the

containers contents. Active packaging effectively
works harder to sustain package contents.
Intelligent Packaging: - Intelligent packaging acts
like brain. It senses and informs, detecting
environmental changes and reflecting them
visually

Materials - Polymer Clay based Nano-composite Barrier

Materials - Bio-degradable Materials

1, Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) based Bio-Polymer
2, Starch based Bio-polymers
3, Cellulosic Bio-Polymers
4, Poly Hydroxy Butyrate Velarate / PHA

Packaging Active Packaging and Intelligent Packaging

Active Packaging

Intelligent Packaging Systems

It actively changes the condition of the

package product to extend its shelf life
or improve food safety or sensory
property while maintaining the quality of
the food.

It has ability to monitor the product,

senses the environment inside or outside
the package and communicates with
consumer with direct visual changes.

Active Packaging

Anti-Microbial Packaging :
Packaging can be enhanced to actively
reduce the growth of harmful microbes.
Antibacterial coatings most often use
silver nano-particles

Ethylene Absorbers:
Ethylene is evolved during ripening
process. The palladium based
compounds scavenges the ethylene to
prolong ripening process.

Active Packaging: Self Heating / Self Cooling Packaging

Self Heating Packs

Self Cooling Packs

Active Packaging:

Breathable Packaging :
The packaging breaths through the
micro-porous structure which is
incorporated in the Polymers.

Desiccant Packaging :
The desiccant is used to protect the
product from moisture and
enhance shelf life.

Active Packaging:

Oxygen Absorber:
Additives absorbs both the oxygen
that penetrates through the
outside of the packaging and also
the oxygen in the headspace.

Intelligent Packaging:

Time Temperature Indicator: These intelligent packaging can detect if

the food has been exposed to
inadequate conditions of storage,
parameter useful to verify the quality,
for example, a refrigerated food or a
frozen.

Intelligent Packaging:
Leakage Indicator: - Leakage of O2
or CO2 will changes the colour due to
chemical or enzymatic reaction.

Freshness Indicators: - Indicates

Deterioration or lack of freshness . It is
based on the detection of volatile
metabolites produced by the aging of
foods such as carbon dioxide, diacetates,
amines (fish), ammonia and hydrogen
sulfide

Intelligent Packaging:

Bacterial Spoilage Indicator: Biodegradable Material is used

which degrades and changes the
colour.

Right Use Temperature

Indicators: Inks appear indicating
right temperature of consumption

Intelligent Packaging:

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification):

RFID tags have been used for some years now.
They work much like a barcode, uniquely
identifying a large number of products, but
they work at a distance of up to tens of
meters.

Nanotechnology techniques: Nanotechnologies are already used in the

manufacture of RFID tags, and improvements
in these techniques in the coming years will
result in smaller, cheaper RFID systems. This
will make them ever more common - it is likely
that they will eventually replace barcodes
altogether.
