Abstract

Nano-packaging is defined as food packages produced with nanoparticles or using nanotechnology in their process. Nano-packaging has become more available in the current market because of its enhanced functional properties such as antimicrobial and barrier properties. However, consumers have worried about toxicity by migration of nanomaterials from packaging to food. Currently, many commercialized products are coated or composited with inorganic nanomaterials such as nanosilver, nanoclay, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and so on. In this study, nanomaterials used in food packaging were classified and the commercially available nano-packaging were screened. Study on the migration of nanomaterials in various food simulants was also summarized.

나노포장은 나노물질 첨가에 따라 항균성, 가스 및 자외선 차단성과 같은 기능성이 향상된다는 장점이 부각되면서 오랫동안 개발되어 왔다. 하지만 최근들어 이러한 나노물질들이 식품과 직접적으로 접촉되면서 식품으로 이행되어 식품과 함께 섭취될 수 있기 때문에 안전하지 않을 수 있다는 논란이 있다. 독일, 스페인, 영국 등의 많은 유럽 국가들에서는 이러한 문제에 대한 빠른 대처를 위해 2000년대 중반부터 또한 우리나라에서는 2014년부터 나노물질 적용 포장재에서 나노물질의 이행에 대한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 나노물질별, 환경별(온도, 시간), 식품모사용매 또는 식품 유형별에 따른 나노물질의 이행에 대한 연구결과를 바탕으로 향후 안전관리를 위한 방안과 가이드라인 등이 마련되어야 한다.
