Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to research on physical and chemical relationships between the food packaging and the food itself. Publications submitted to this Special Issue should focus on finding optimal solutions in the field of food packaging, especially the possibility of using edible or biodegradable packaging. Determining the impact of the type of packaging and its components on the quality of food products is extremely important in the context of limiting the use of plastic food packaging. Authors should demonstrate that the research they present concerns solutions that improve the quality of food, with particular emphasis on the beneficial effect of these solutions on the final product. Consumers are increasingly aware of and interested in purchasing high-quality products, which is why we believe that the participation of leading scientists who are able to present the latest solutions is really important.
We look forward to your submissions.
