Advanced food packaging systems for space exploration missions.
Life Sci Space Res. 2023 Jan 23. Review. Online ahead of print.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lssr.2023.01.005
Note: From the abstract: “Since the advent of space exploration missions, various space agencies have been working to improve the quality of food and nutrition for crew members. Food processing, preservation, and packaging have evolved with the advancement of technology. Most of the food available on earth can be consumed in space by changing its form. Shelf life and food acceptability can be enhanced by using suitable packaging materials. Here we review space food, which has been categorized into bite-size food, rehydratable food, thermostabilized food, intermediate moisture food, and irradiated food.”
