Smart Packaging Solutions
摘要
This review paper aims to focus on a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in smart food packaging technologies, providing their role in enhancing food quality, safety, and real- time monitoring product monitoring. The study evaluates the limitations of conventional packaging and explores the mering smart packaging system, including indicators, sensors, anticounterfeiting technologies, and RFID-based solutions.
Recent FindingsRecent studies highlight the integration of sustainable polymers, smart inks, dyes, and nanomaterials in the development of responsive packaging systems. These systems enable sensitive detection of physicochemical and biochemical changes, including pH variation, gas composition (O2, CO2, ethylene), temperature fluctuations, and microbial metabolites. Advances in intelligent packaging also include improved traceability, real-time monitoring, and enhanced product authentication through RFID, NFC, and digital technologies.
SummarySmart packaging technologies offer significant potential to improve food preservation, reduce waste, and ensure product safety across the supply chain. However, challenges related to cost-effectiveness, regulatory compliance, environmental stability, and large-scale commercialization remain significant. Future research should focus on multifunctional material design, system integration, and the application of artificial intelligence for predictive quality assessment and next-generation smart packaging solutions.
