- Active and intelligent packaging - Principles of operation, characteristics and applicationsPublication . Rato, Nuno; Gaspar, Pedro DinisFood preservation is a topic increasingly being discussed due to market needs, where food from all over the world is required under the best chemical and physical conditions, with minimal waste. Active packaging is defined as the deliberate addition of some components to enhance the properties of the packaging. The various types of active packaging are oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters and absorbers, ethylene absorbers, ethanol emitters, moisture absorbers, and antimicrobial agents. Smart packaging includes indicators that provide information on product quality and safety over time, such as packaging history, inside and outside atmosphere, oxygen levels, among others. Given the demands on food safety and quality as well as product traceability, there is an exponential increase in the development, production and use of active and intelligent packaging.
- What is the role of active packaging in the future of food sustainability? A systematic reviewPublication . Alves, Joel; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Lima, Tânia M.; Silva, Pedro D.Nowadays, the strong increase in products consumption, the purchase of products on online platforms as well as the requirements for greater safety and food protection are a concern for food and packaging industries. Active packaging brings huge advances in the extension of product shelf-life and food degradation and losses reduction. This systematic work aims to collect and evaluate all existing strategies and technologies of active packaging that can be applied in food products, with a global view of new possibilities for food preservation. Oxygen scavengers, carbon dioxide emitters/absorbers, ethylene scavengers, antimicrobial and antioxidant active packaging, and other active systems and technologies are summarized including the products commercially available and the respective mechanisms of action.
