Abstract
Food packaging is crucial for protecting products, ensuring safety, and facilitating consumption. Important phases comprise manufacturing, wrapping, delivery, and preservation. The primary goal of food packaging is to maintain the quality of products throughout this process.
Packaging fulfills multiple functions, including storing items, shielding them, offering convenience, and conveying messages. The packaging process is crucial in preserving the quality of food products, particularly dairy items, which are susceptible to biological, physical, and chemical changes that can compromise their quality within a short period of time. Innovations in food packaging are driven by consumer demands and industry trends. Therefore, employing innovative methods like nanotechnology, modified atmosphere packaging, active packaging, and intelligent/smart packaging is essential within the dairy sector..
The dairy packaging market is witnessing significant growth, driven by increasing consumption of milk and milk-based products, alongside rising health concerns. Intelligent packaging solutions, including indicators, data carriers, and sensors, are being developed to preserve dairy products and provide consumers with essential information.
Despite advancements, challenges persist in dairy packaging, such as ensuring economical, hygienic, safe, and environmentally friendly packaging. Secondary packaging, including cartons, boxes, and wraps, is gaining importance in ensuring food safety and extending shelf life.Sustainable packaging innovations are emerging to meet consumer preferences while addressing environmental challenges. These innovations include biodegradable materials and improved design processes. This review paper examines recent technological advancements in the realm of sustainable packaging for dairy food products. As sustainability becomes more important globally, the dairy industry must adopt eco-friendly packaging solutions while maintaining product safety. This paper explores innovative packaging materials, designs, and technologies that offer novel approaches to address these challenges
