Identify the latest developments and current trends with active and intelligent packaging.
Active packaging is packaging which is specifically designed to change the condition of the packed food to extend shelf-life, improve safety or enhance sensory properties. Intelligent packaging, in contrast, is designed to sense the environment and/or convey information to the user. This publication – the proceedings of a second international conference held at CCFRA in September 2002 – brings together experts on active and intelligent packaging from around the world to review the latest developments and assess their status. For each presentation the proceedings include a short summary of the address together with copies of the visual aids used on the day.
