Edible Films and Coatings for Food Applications

Edible films and coatings play an important role in the quality, safety, transportation, storage, and display of a wide range of fresh and processed foods. Edible films and coatings, while preventing moisture loss and maintaining quality, prevent spoilage and microbial contamination of foods. The edible film and coating industry is now a multimillion dollar industry. Less than $1 million in 1999, the market has grown to more than $100 million and is expected to grow to $350 million by 2008, according to James Rossman of Rossman Consulting. Pharmaceutical and consumer products have been responsible for the tremendous increase. This growth has produced an enormous amount of scientific articles, patents, and research projects undertaken by members of the food industry, academia, and research institutions. Edible Films and Coatings for Food Applications brings together this vast wealth of scientific knowledge in a systematically organized volume. It examines the science, application, function, and market for edible films and coatings.

An edible film is defined as a thin layer, which can be consumed, coated on a food or placed as a barrier between the food and the surrounding environment. For the past 10 years, research on edible films and coatings in foods is driven by food engineers due to the high demand of consumers for longer shelf-life and better quality of fresh foods as well as of environmentally friendly packaging. This book presents and discusses only some aspects of hydrocolloid edible films and coatings. In particular, the film-forming materials is presented and the physical properties of the film and coating are examined. The main techniques used to form edible coatings as spray systems or immersion procedures are detailed as well as the solvent casting and the extrusion processes for the edible films.

The search for better strategies to preserve foods with minimal changes during processing has been of great interest in recent decades. Traditionally, edible films and coatings have been used as a partial barrier to moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through selective permeability to gases, as well as improving mechanical handling properties. The advances in this area have been breathtaking, and in fact their implementation in the industry is already a reality. Even so, there are still new developments in various fields and from various perspectives worth reporting. Edible Films and Coatings: Fundamentals and Applications discusses the newest generation of edible films and coatings that ar...
