Abstract

Food contamination can happen at any point, from the farm to when it reaches your table, potentially leading to different diseases ranging from mild to severe. Traditional packaging methods primarily focus on environmental protection, but there's a rising demand for more advanced systems that offer improved communication capabilities. Enter smart packaging: a solution that not only protects but also communicates and ensures food safety. In response to shifting consumer preferences towards safer food options, packaging technologies have undergone significant innovations. This article delves into various smart packaging systems and their applications within the realm of food packaging, exploring the latest advancements in packaging research. Active and intelligent packaging are two such technologies that promise to deliver enhanced safety and quality in food products. Active packaging involves the incorporation of additives into the packaging material, aimed at preserving or extending the product's quality and shelf life. On the other hand, intelligent systems are capable of monitoring the condition of packaged food, providing valuable information on its quality throughout transportation and storage. These innovative solutions are tailored to meet the growing demand for safer foods with extended shelf life. The market for active and intelligent packaging systems is poised for substantial growth, driven by their integration into packaging materials and systems
