Full Description
Natural Gums as a Sustainable Material for Food Packaging and Preservation focuses on the characterization, functionality, mechanisms, and processing of natural gum-based packages and its application for food preservation and smart packaging. Divided in three sections, the first one deals with characterization, functionality, formulation, and health and eco-innovations in natural gums followed by global research indicators of gum packages. The second part discusses the application of natural gum and gum-based for the protection of foods. This section also evaluates the potential use of gum-based smart packaging for the detection of food quality and safety, in addition to discussing the consumer acceptability of the gum package. The third part focuses on natural gum package challenges, safety, and associated legislation followed by assessing the future potential of natural gum food packages. Edited by a team of experts in natural gums and food packaging materials, this book prioritizes sustainability and biodegradability by utilizing natural gums as an eco-friendly alternative to protect and indicate the freshness of foods.
