(Food Science & Technology, 3 September 2011) "Since the previous edition, major innovations have occurred in sustainable packaging, intelligent packaging, smart blending technology, and nanotechnology; the volume also addresses increased security and environmental concerns. All these developments are reflected in new or greatly expanded coverage within this useful reference work." ( CHOICE, July 2010)"Throughout the book there is a good balance of breadth and depth of detail in all sections, including those about the manufacturing and handling operations required for the different packaging types.
