Active packaging, on the other hand, employs the use of substances that scavenge, capture, or otherwise render harmless deleterious substances. [2] When moisture content is a mechanism for product degradation, packaging with a low moisture vapor transmission rate and the use of desiccants help keep the moisture in the package within acceptable ...
