Abstract(s)
Food 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.
