Smart Packaging Tech Boosts Freshness and Cuts Food Waste A recent review emphasizes the potential of smart packaging to extend the shelf life of fresh produce and reduce food waste, aligning with growing concerns about spoilage, food safety, and environmental sustainability. Traditional preservation methods like refrigeration have limitations, prompting interest in smart packaging technologies. Smart packaging includes: Active packaging, which interacts with food using elements like moisture absorbers and oxygen scavengers to reduce spoilage. Intelligent packaging, which uses sensors to monitor conditions such as temperature and humidity, offering real-time freshness data. Biodegradable materials and technologies like RFID and QR codes support traceability and eco-friendliness. Studies show that smart packaging helps maintain produce quality longer than conventional methods by adapting to environmental changes. However, challenges remain, including consumer concerns about safety, especially with nanotechnology, and the need to optimize performance during transport. Standardized regulations are necessary to ensure safety and widespread adoption. As technology progresses, smart packaging holds promise as a key tool for enhancing food safety and sustainability globally. Source: AZO Sensors
