==Objective==
 +
 +
The objective is to provide a landscape of the latest Food Packaging technologies that provide added consumer benefits.  We will explore patent data bases to extract these technologies and highlight any claims mentioned that discuss new and beneficial consumer benefits.  In addition, this final report will show where this technology is being developed, who is developing technologies in food packaging and white space potential.
 +
 +
==Background==
 +
 +
The major role of packaging is to protect the food product it contains against water, water vapor, air, oxygen, microorganisms, insects, other intruders, dirt, pilferage, etc. Besides protection, containment, communication, unitization, sanitation, dispensing, convenience, are some of the other package functions. One major benefit to the consumer from packaging is the safety of the product that it holds. [http://www.enq.ufsc.br/disci/eqa5216/material_didatico/DEVELOPINGNEWFOOD/TX67784_08.pdf Book on Development of Packaging for Food Products]. Active packaging interacts with a product by releasing or absorbing substances to/from the packed food product and thereby extending shelf-life and improving food safety and quality. Some of the active packaging concepts include anti-microbial films, anti-oxidant films, and scavenging concepts such as oxygen scavenging, ethylene scavenging, moisture regulation etc. to preserve the freshness of the food product. [http://www.paperimpact.org/what-is-active-packaging-289.html Paperimpact]. Researchers have also shown the migration of the antimicrobial compound such as ethyl lauryl arginate (LAE) to chicken breast to be within the regulated limits when using an active packaging. LAE has been shown to be effective against Listeria. [http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Quality-Safety/Migration-levels-of-antimicrobial-packaging-material-found-to-be-safe FoodProduction Daily]. Release of salicylic acid from polymer films can
 +
prevent the formation of Salmonella typhimurium biofilms. [http://foodsci.rutgers.edu/chikindas/MChikindas%20Manuscripts/JAPR-2009-3-193.pdf Review article of Rutgers University].

Objective

The objective is to provide a landscape of the latest Food Packaging technologies that provide added consumer benefits. We will explore patent data bases to extract these technologies and highlight any claims mentioned that discuss new and beneficial consumer benefits. In addition, this final report will show where this technology is being developed, who is developing technologies in food packaging and white space potential.

Background

The major role of packaging is to protect the food product it contains against water, water vapor, air, oxygen, microorganisms, insects, other intruders, dirt, pilferage, etc. Besides protection, containment, communication, unitization, sanitation, dispensing, convenience, are some of the other package functions. One major benefit to the consumer from packaging is the safety of the product that it holds. Book on Development of Packaging for Food Products. Active packaging interacts with a product by releasing or absorbing substances to/from the packed food product and thereby extending shelf-life and improving food safety and quality. Some of the active packaging concepts include anti-microbial films, anti-oxidant films, and scavenging concepts such as oxygen scavenging, ethylene scavenging, moisture regulation etc. to preserve the freshness of the food product. Paperimpact. Researchers have also shown the migration of the antimicrobial compound such as ethyl lauryl arginate (LAE) to chicken breast to be within the regulated limits when using an active packaging. LAE has been shown to be effective against Listeria. FoodProduction Daily. Release of salicylic acid from polymer films can prevent the formation of Salmonella typhimurium biofilms. Review article of Rutgers University.
