Sensory problems caused by food and packaging interactions

13 Sensory problems caused by food and packaging interactions 

Off-flavors in food packages are not only a legal but also often an economic problem, when market recalls have to be made. Off-odors are due to the presence of one or several substances whose strong odors affect the food s specific aroma. This chapter deals with solutions for several kinds of off-flavor problems arising from interactions between packaging and food.
