13、e food industry.More recently,food packages have been developed which offer tamper-evident or tamper-resistant features,allow for product preparation,and provide dispensing features and many conveniences such as single serving portions.Often the food product and its package are developed to be an in
14、tegrated unit such as an aerosol product.Technological breakthroughs in metals,glass,paperboard,composites,and most especially plastics have provided a multitude of opportunities for improved food packaging.The plastics segment of the packaging industry has shown the most rapid growth for many reaso
15、ns.Some of the most important are:some plastics can be used in microwave ovens;plastics have a wide range of physical and barrier properties;and plastics offer design capabilities and features not available with other packaging materials.However,ecological and environmental concerns are growing rapi
