With the constant development of food packaging industry, the traditional food packaging industry has been out of date in the new era, which requires the emergence of a new type of food packaging to replace the traditional one. As a trend of new food packaging development, green food packaging is safer, healthier and with more environmental features. Since it is a kind of new packaging material...

The migration of packaging material constituents into food is a product of the interaction between the food and packaging material. This phenomenon is of importance because some migrating substances may be toxicologically carcinogenic and endanger the consumer safety. Polystyrenes are used in many food-contact applications for the packaging of aqueous-based, fatty and dry foods. The correlation...
