"This book, published in 2003, sets out to cover not only packaging operations and materials but also the complementary range of food preservation processes and logistical packaging considerations...To cover such a broad range in a consistent easy-to-read style within 368 pages is difficult but has been achieved splendidly.Overall, this book provides a ready source of information for those with an interest in packaging and packaging methods. It will be of direct use to those in the dairy and food industries, particularly anyone in technical management and product development, and provides a good course book for undergraduate and masters programmes in food science and technology."International Journal of Dairy Technology Vol 58 (2), May 2005 "Food packaging comes under the microscope ... with the publication of a new book that provides in-depth information for packaging technologists and food companies.With the key packaging materials - glass, metal, plastics and paperboard - all competing heavily with each other, Food Packaging Technology, from Blackwell Publishing, helps by identifying which materials and processes will best serve the market and enhance brand value" Food Manufacture, December 2003 "This book provides information about food preservation processes and techniques, product quality and shelf life, logistical packaging and packaging materials.
