Summary:

Addresses the issue of interactions between foods and packaging materials, highlighting the process of modeling the diffusion of compounds through different types of packaging. Subjects include utilization of antimicrobial packaging films for inhibition of selected microorganisms, modeling of additive diffusion coefficients in polyolefins, the use of model substances for migration studies, and solvents to mimic the behavior of fats in contact with packaging plastics.
