Increase the quality of food packaging by one of the latest technologies

Background and Objective: Nanotechnology is one of the new technologies that has opened its way to various industries and is widely used in various fields. One of these industries that play a major role in the health of the community is the packaging industry. The aim at this study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of nanotechnology in food packaging.Materials and Methods: In the beginning whole of the researches associated with the study topic by applying numerous keywords (nanotechnology, nano-composites and food packaging) searched for English databases was carried out following a certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of study including articles associated with nanotechnology, nano-composites and food packaging, types of articles were original, also articles were written in English and all the articles were free access full text. Research data collection was based on study features, nanotechnology, nano-composites and food packaging.Results: The results of research works revealed that nanotechnology-based packaging is able to repair packages and prevent to food spoilage. Also advantages of nanotechnology in the food industry, including the ability to enrich and encapsulate and preserve useful compounds for their controlled delivery to the target cell, the ability to cover undesirable flavors, the use of active and intelligent packaging and applying in the food quality and safety diagnostics has led to the desire to use this technology. Using these packages will prevent their contents from drying out and protect against moisture, oxygen and other hazardous substances, and nano-materials can also be used to protect food from spoilage.Conclusion: Knowing the capabilities of nanotechnology, it is hoped that the current food packaging systems can be modified and products introduced to the community in accordance with the culture of proper nutrition.
