Food Safety, Plastics and Sustainability
Wiley-Scrivener (Verlag)
978-1-394-17456-0 (ISBN)
This book focuses on plastics for food safety, materials, chemicals and methods, as well as the applications of these polymers. The book begins with a chapter on food safety. Here, food security and the issues of migration of substances from packaging into the corresponding food, as well as the impact of microplastics on humans and the environment are discussed. In the next chapter, regulations, standards, and specifications are detailed. In another chapter, testing methods, such as risk assessment, freshness testing of food, and food colorants are discussed. In the chapter entitled “Food Packaging”, the methods that can be used for these issues are given as well as the special materials for food packaging. The chapter on materials includes a discussion on nanocomposites, biopolymers, microplastics, and edible films. This is followed by chapters on additives and applications, such as functional food applications. The final chapter covers the identification of the materials, the methods for recycling, plastic waste generation, and post-consumer polyolefins. Three separate indexes ensure a reader/user-friendly experience.
Audience The book will be used by plastics engineers, chemists, and polymer and materials scientists in academia and the food and packaging industries. Johannes Karl Fink is Professor of Macromolecular Chemistry at Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria. His industry and academic career spans more than 40 years in the field of polymers, and his research interests include characterization, flame retardancy, thermodynamics and the degradation of polymers, pyrolysis, and adhesives. Professor Fink has published many books on physical chemistry and polymer science including 24 books with the Wiley-Scrivener imprint, such as A Concise Introduction to Additives for Thermoplastic Polymers (2009), The Chemistry of Biobased Polymers, 2nd edition (2019), 3D Industrial Printing with Polymers (2019) and The Chemistry of Environmental Engineering (2020).
