ZnO Nanostructures in Active Antibacterial Food Packaging: Preparation Methods, Antimicrobial Mechanisms, Safety Issues, Future Prospects, and Challenges
Open accessAbstract
Packaging of food products is one of the most important stages of the food supply chain. Nano-size materials for packing food substances with appropriate properties result in better packaging performance and longer food shelf-life. In this review, the application of ZnO nano-size in active packaging of foods is discussed to identify gaps in applications for food packaging and safety. First, the crystal structures and morphologies of modified ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are presented, and their synergistic effects on antimicrobial activities are discussed. This review also provides an overview of antimicrobial packaging containing ZnO NPs with a focus on preparation methods, antimicrobial mechanisms, and recent progress in packaging applications. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is the primary antimicrobial mechanism, which can be varied depending on morphology and size. Generally, ZnO NPs can inactivate fungi or Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria growth, which reduce the risk of cross-contamination, thereby extending the shelf life of products. Notably, the health concerns and hazards regarding the safety and migration of ZnO NPs application are also elaborated. Unintentional migration, inhalation, skin penetration, and ingestion may result in human health hazards. Therefore, to provide safety regulations, further investigations such as case by case study are recommended.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
