Application of Nano Zeolite in Food Packaging

Nowadays there are several research topics on the properties of nanoparticles, which can affect their chemical, optical, electrical, and biological characteristics. Nanoparticles are known as potent antimicrobial agents with various techniques on determining the antimicrobial mechanism of nanoparticles [1,2]. Zeolites are crystalline low-density aluminosilicates, which are called “molecular sieves” with a microporous three‐dimensional structure. Pore sizes are in the range of 0.3–2 nm. These pores are usually full with water molecules or alkali or alkali-earth cations. These compounds have wide usage because of physicochemical properties of large surface area, pore compositional, framework flexibilities, physical, thermal and hydrothermal stabilities, high adsorption capacity, non‐toxicity, ion exchange ability, selectivity and their economic benefits.
