Abstract
Maintaining the quality and safety of food and thus maintaining people's health has been one of the most important concern of mankind since long time. One of the useful solutions to solve this problem is to switch to food packaging. Recognizing the nature of different foods, the emergence of availability and safe sources, and awareness of consumer expectations caused packaging to change from a simple cover to today's modern packaging with advanced functions. Making suitable packaging for each product, in addition to maintaining the quality and health of the product, can reduce the amount of food waste caused by unfavorable storage. Today, plastics are used more widely than other materials in the packaging industry and since these materials are derived from petroleum and in addition to consuming fossil fuels which are non-renewable resources, these remain in the environment for years and environmental concerns are increasing day by day. More about them, in this article, we review the different materials used in the packaging industry, their advantages and disadvantages, and general knowledge of new techniques and methods in food packaging. Also, special attention has been given to the investigation of novel packaging, which have more desirable features compared to the current common packaging in the country. In spite of these features such as better preservation of product quality and high marketability, in our country industrialization has not yet been carried out widely. In order to collect this article, from the September 2022 to the end of December 2022, a number of 196 articles were received and studied from the search engines MDPI, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, CiteSeerx, Springer, Civilica and Scientific Information Database (SID), among which 108 sources was used.
