Packaging for Nonthermal Processing of Food

The second edition of this important resource gathers together the myriad developments that have occurred in the field since 2007. Since that time, the commercial application of nonthermal food technologies such as high pressure, pulsed electric field and ohmic heating have increased significantly. Similarly, active and smart packaging technologies have become more common, as has the adoption of radio frequency identification devices on packaging. Unique to this edition:
