Food packaging, often underestimated, plays a crucial role in the supply chain and our daily lives. During storage, distribution, and marketing, packaging must contain and protect food, communicate its characteristics, and present convenience to the consumer. Various packaging materials, mainly synthetic polymers derived from petroleum, are available. However, the growing concern about pollution and the environmental impact generated by this type of material drives us to rethink our choices, and the search for solutions has become more urgent than ever. This new book, Sustainable Food Packaging Materials and Technology, addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our era: how to preserve the quality, safety, and, in some cases, freshness of food with packaging based on sustainable materials that do not compromise the environment.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.” —David Schmool, PhD, Director, Groupe d’Etude de la Matière Condensée GEMaC, National Centre for Scientific Research, Université de Versailles/Saint-Quentin, Université Paris-Saclay,Versailles, France AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set) “I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with.
