Aluminium Foil as a Packaging Material for Fishery Products: A Review

Abstract

Aluminium foil is a thin material made of aluminum metal used for packaging. Aluminium foil has good properties for packaging food products, including hermetic, flexible, opaque, impervious to moisture and water, non-flammable, and does not absorb other materials or substances. Widely, aluminium foil is used as a coating, especially for packaging food which must be protected from gas, moisture, odors, and light so that it can better maintain the durability of the packaged product. Fishery products need to be packaged to extend shelf life and maintain product quality. Several studies have shown that the use of aluminium foil packaging can extend the shelf life compared to other packaging.
