Abstract

This paper explores the latest innovations in food processing and packaging technologies, highlighting their impact on food safety, shelf life extension, and consumer convenience. The advancements in food processing techniques, such as high-pressure processing (HPP), enzymatic modification, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are discussed, emphasizing their potential to improve the nutritional quality and reduce food waste. Furthermore, the paper delves into the evolution of packaging materials and methods, including biodegradable plastics, active packaging, and intelligent packaging systems, which are designed to enhance food preservation and provide valuable information to consumers. The overall aim is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in food processing and packaging technologies, and to discuss their implications for the food industry and public health.

Keywords: Food processing technologies, - Packaging innovations, - Food safety, - Shelf life extension, - Consumer convenience.;
