This review contains an overview of the state-of-the-art
of a new class of materials comprised of biopolymer-based
nanocomposites with the potential for use in the food
packaging sector focused on the aspects of nanotechnology
that are related to the extension of shelf life of
packaged food with maintaining food safety and quality,
and the development of active and smart/intelligent
food packaging materials using bio-nanocomposite
materials..
