dc.description.abstractIn recent years, the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in various fields has been investigated due to their highly potent properties. One of these areas is the adaptation of AgNPs to food packaging/preservation technologies. The primary reasons for the use of AgNPs in food preservation studies are their high levels of antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal activities. In particular, the slow and controlled release of silver provides a sustained protective effect throughout the contact period of AgNP-integrated packaging with food and reduces microbial load by preventing biofilm formation. Furthermore, high thermal stability of AgNPs provides high protection to foods under various conditions. Their high surface-area-to-volume ratio, making them effective even at low concentrations, further supports AgNPs as a promising alternative in food preservation technologies. Moreover, their ease of surface modification facilitates the integration of these nanoparticles (NPs) into polymer matrices, biodegradable films, and coatings. Additionally, some AgNP-based films are also used in smart packaging applications, providing a color change indicator of degradation. Their broad pH tolerance enhances their applicability to a variety of food types, from dairy to meat products. For all these reasons, AgNPs are considered as one of the essential components of innovative food packaging to slow down food spoilage, prevent microbial contamination, and provide safer, longer-lasting products to the consumer, and studies on them are ongoing.
