  • Description: The unique properties of nano‐ and micromaterials enables exploiting them as carriers for the delivery of active components in packaging systems that exhibit an enhanced protective function to increase the product shelf‐life. With growing consumer demand for high quality and minimally processed products, along with the increasingly complex distribution supply chains, more food companies are relying on active and intelligent packaging systems to extend the product shelf‐life and to ensure food safety. This chapter reviews the current developments of composite packaging structure, as well as active and intelligent packaging involving nano‐and microencapsulated technologies. The nanomaterials used for nanocomposite technologies include layered silicate nanocomposites and mineral oxide and organic nanocrystal composites. Selected examples of active and intelligent packaging systems such as product quality and shelf‐life indicators, nano‐ and microencapsulated antimicrobial composites are presented in the chapter.
