Testing modified atmosphere in a plastic bag of carrots. Food packaging is a packaging system specifically designed for food and represents one of the most important aspects among the processes involved in the food industry, as it provides protection from chemical, biological and physical alterations.

The material of construction of multilayered packaging ranges from paper to plastics to metals. Most multilayered packages are not readily recyclable. [2] Basf company and Uflex recently developed multilayered food packaging from 100% recyclable materials. [3] [4]
Food contact material pictogram (left) on a plastic food container in Hong Kong. Food contact materials or food contacting substances (FCS) [1] [2] are materials that are intended to be in contact with food. These can be things that are quite obvious like a glass or a can for soft drinks as well as machinery in a food factory or a coffee machine.
However, as the food supply has evolved, and with the increasing demand for nutritional and related components, it has become more difficult for compilers to rely only on chemical analysis when compiling FCDBs. For example, in the UK the third edition of The Composition of Foods [3] presented data on vitamin content of foods. However, due to ...
DNA barcoding in diet assessment is the use of DNA barcoding to analyse the diet of organisms. [1] [2] and further detect and describe their trophic interactions.[3] [4] This approach is based on the identification of consumed species by characterization of DNA present in dietary samples, [5] e.g. individual food remains, regurgitates, gut and fecal samples, homogenized body of the host ...

Typical products are foam food containers, plates, bowls, cups, utensils, doilies and tray papers. These products can be made from a number of materials including plastics, paper, bioresins, wood and ...
Traditionally, food companies would send food samples to laboratories for physical testing. Typical analyses include: moisture (water) by loss of mass at 102 °C; protein by analysis of total nitrogen, either by Dumas or Kjeldahl methods; total fat, traditionally by a solvent extraction, but often now by secondary methods such as NMR
