Description
a study on packaging of food, functions of food packaging, trends in food packaging
?
Today is the age of packaged food. Today every product, everything of our need comes in wrappers made up of plastics and papers. Today we prefer to purchase packaged food over open and unwrapped products.
?
?
?
Food packaging is packaging for food. It requires protection, tampering resistance, and special physical, chemical, or biological needs. It also shows the product that is labeled to show any nutrition information on the food being consumed.
?
?
Various reasons for enhancement of packaged food concept are :
? ? ? ?
Increasing Globalization Improving lifestyle Growing MNCs Increased per capita income
Assurance of quality standards ? Guarantee of quantity of product ? Uniformity of rate ? Almost zero chances of theft ? Safer and less vulnerable to contamination ? Packaged food lasts longer and stays fresh ? Convenient to handle
?
?
Materials used as wrapper forms a large amount of wastes mainly because of used plastics.
?
Need of strong supervision and legal inspection during manufacturing and packaging to maintain quality standards.
Physical protection ? Barrier protection ? Containment or agglomeration ? Information transmission ? Marketing ? Security ? Convenience ? Portion control

Although packaging of foods have many merits it has demerits too if we consider it as a pollution spreading agent. So manufacturing authorities must consider the side effects of packing materials and use the recyclable materials
