“…However, there is a trade‐off between the potential cost related to food waste and loss as well as safety issues (w/o SP) and the extra cost of adopting smart packages, that is, the manufacturing cost of SP. Sensors or smart labels are key elements in SP system to monitor the food quality or storage conditions or to determine the exterior environment of a packaged product (both for manufacturer and consumer needs) (Jiang et al., ; Neethirajan & Jayas, ; Wyser et al., ). Suitable techniques to fabricate these smart elements which are compatible for the current packaging standards need to be developed and improved to reduce the related manufacturing costs but at the same time, broaden their range of applications for various food products.…”

Food supply chain is a rapidly growing integrated sector and covers all the aspects from farm to fork, including manufacturing, packaging, distribution, storing, as well as further processing or cooking for consumption. Along this chain, smart packaging could impact the quality, safety, and sustainability of food. Packaging systems have evolved to be smarter with integration of emerging electronics and wireless communication and cloud data solutions. Although there are many factors causing the loss and waste issues for foods throughout the whole supply chain of food and there have been several articles showing the recent advances and breakthroughs in developing smart packaging systems, this review integrates these conceptual frameworks and technological applications and focuses on how innovative smart packaging solutions are beneficial to the overall quality and safety of food supply by enhancing product traceability and reducing the amount of food loss and waste. We start by introducing the concept of the management for the integrated food supply chain, which is critical in tactical and operational components that can enhance product traceability within the entire chain. Then we highlight the impact of smart packaging in reducing food loss and waste. We summarize the basic information of the common printing techniques for smart packaging system (sensor and indicator). Then, we discuss the potential challenges in the manufacturing and deployment of smart packaging systems, as well as their cost‐related drawbacks and further steps in food supply chain.

“…Numerous scientific studies have shown that the incorporation of nanomaterials in biodegradable food packaging can increase performance by improving the mechanical and thermal properties of the materials. Furthermore, nanomaterials can provide new properties, such as antimicrobial and antifungal activities, elimination of oxygen, enzyme immobilization and protection against degradation, hence contributing to better stability of the stored products (de Azeredo 2009;Peelman et al 2013;Rhim et al 2013;Reig et al 2014;Jiang et al 2015;Kuswandi 2016).…”

Aquaculture is increasingly important in global food production. Consequently, the control of diseases in aquaculture is essential, due to the potential environmental impacts, notably in terms of the states of health of freshwater bodies and the oceans. In this study, we review the possible uses of different management systems, highlighting essential oils and novel nanotechnological strategies, for the control of diseases in aquaculture.

“…This functionality is enabling the development of novel intelligent packaging concepts, which can be in the form of sensors (bio or temperature), or nanomaterial-based 'intelligent' inks, which can be printed on labels or incorporated in coatings for food packaging. [85][86][87] Such labels could, for example, show the consumer that the product is safe to consume or that the package integrity has not been compromised in the supply chain. Other labels can determine the level of microbial activity in a package by indicating when the food starts deteriorating or can provide an indication of time-temperature exposure to indicate if the cold chain has been breached.…”

Nanotechnology has been considered to have high potential for food packaging applications very early on. The ability to provide additional consumer benefits through the improvement of key properties of packaging materials and the creation of new functionalities means that the increased use of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies is highly likely. It has however up to now failed to reach the widespread use that was initially expected, mainly because of remaining uncertainties on the safety of these materials during the various stages of their life-cycle, which limit legal and consumer acceptance.This paper aims at presenting the latest developments in the field of nanotechnologies for food packaging applications, describing the legal framework linked to their usage and attempts to clarify the current knowledge of the safety of these materials both for the consumer and the environment.It is shown that particulate migration into foodstuff is absent in many applications, which drastically reduces the potential risk during the use phase of packaging materials, i.e. the exposure of the consumer to nanoparticles. Other release routes are also evaluated, showing that, although safe in normal use conditions, prudence should still be used, especially with regard to release after disposal of the materials.
