This book provides much of the information the food technologist will need. It takes an integrated view of packaging materials and the logistics of their use in the context of food preservation, processing, quality and shelf life. It will help the technolologist with the development of new products, adding value to existing products, and reducing costs in the supply chain. The first four chapters cover the principles of packaging, product-package interactions and logistics. The subsequent chapter look, in turn, at specific package types and systems. Based on contributions from an internationally recognised panel of authors, the book will be of value to any food or product development technologist with an interest in food packaging technology. The book is available from: pubs@campden.co.uk and costs £105.
