Innovations in Seafood Packaging Technologies: A Review

ABSTRACT

Innovative packaging techniques have been developed to meet consumers’ safe, high quality, easy to use, ready-to-use product requirements. This review provides information on innovative techniques in the packaging of seafood products. In this review, by referring to the studies in which these novel techniques are used, it is aimed to inform about the current status of novel packaging applications in seafood products, which are known to be easily perishable and sensitive foods. On the other hand, to provide new perspectives to researchers is another aim. Modified atmosphere packaging, active packaging and intelligent packaging systems have been used successfully in the packaging of seafood products. Especially modified atmospheric applications are common. There is a need for more work on intelligent packaging applications in seafood products.
