“…In active packaging, nanostructures can enhance plastics permeabilities to gases and flavors, and can also be used to improve food safety and fortification, as to improve bioavailability, processing, and encapsulation of active compounds (Pereda et al, 2018). In intelligent packages, nanosensors improve the rate, sensitivity and specificity of the detection of pathogens, toxins, and chemicals, and incorporated inside the packaging, they can inform the consumers about food's freshness level and nutrition status (Fuertes et al, 2016b;Caon et al, 2017).…”

Food packaging has a crucial function in the modern food industry. New food packaging technologies seek to meet consumers and industrial's demands. Changes related to food production, sale practices and consumers' lifestyles, along with environmental awareness and the advance in new areas of knowledge (such as nanotechnology or biotechnology), act as driving forces to develop smart packages that can extend food shelf-life, keeping and supervising their innocuousness and quality and also taking care of the environment. This review describes the main concepts and types of active and intelligent food packaging, focusing on recent progress and new trends using biodegradable and biobased polymers. Numerous studies show the great possibilities of these materials. Future research needs to focus on some important aspects such as possibilities to scale-up, costs, regulatory aspects, and consumers' acceptance, to make these systems commercially viable.

“…As another ability worth mentioning is that nanomaterials can act as biosensors in food packaging, enabling "intelligent" packaging systems involving highly sensitive nanomaterials to detect foodborne pathogens in foodstuffs or identify alterations in environmental factors affecting storage conditions of food products [78][79][80]. It should not be underestimated that nanomaterials could sense chemicals, toxins, and pathogens in food products.…”

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing demand for “ready-to-cook” and “ready-to-eat” foods, encouraging food producers, food suppliers, and food scientists to package foods with minimal processing and loss of nutrients during food processing. Following the increasing trend in the customer’s demands for minimally processed foodstuffs, this underscores the importance of promising interests toward industrial applications of novel and practical approaches in food. Along with substantial progress in the emergence of “nanoscience”, which has turned into the call of the century, the efficacy of conventional packaging has faded away. Accordingly, there is a wide range of new types of packaging, including electronic packaging machines, flexible packaging, sterile packaging, metal containers, aluminum foil, and flexographic printing. Hence, it has been demonstrated that these novel approaches can economically improve food safety and quality, decrease the microbial load of foodborne pathogens, and reduce food spoilage. This review study provides a comprehensive overview of the most common chemical or natural nanocomposites used in food packaging that can extend food shelf life, safety and quality. Finally, we discuss applying materials in the production of active and intelligent food packaging nanocomposite, synthesis of nanomaterial, and their effects on human health.

“…Nano technological advancements allow nano sensors to be used in food packaging to monitor their consistency across the different stages of the logistics process and to ensure the quality of the product to the final customer [98]. Intelligent packaging nanotechnology can assist in providing product features for authentication, monitoring, and location to avoid falsification, adulteration, and avoidance of the variety of goods intended for a particular market.…”

This paper offers a comprehensive account on the emerging concepts and practices in post-harvest management of horticultural crops. Post-harvest science and technology facilitates the industries to deliver safe, nutritious and fresh horticultural products to consumers at the end of the supply chain from farm to mouth. Substantial food wastages, which occur in the post-harvest period and such losses, could be reduced by improved post-harvest research, advancement, training and education. At present, many novel technologies and techniques are already being implemented to reduce the post-harvest losses which are witnessed at harvesting, during packing and transportation, in wholesale and retail markets, and during delays at various levels of handling. Improvements are also required to minimize the losses effectively and keep the process-cost low so that it could be applicable at commercial scale in a wide range of economic levels. By developing the practices utilized at post-harvest phase, the expenses accompanying for additional processing paces could also be reduced. Future studies should also be focused on incorporating various emerging technologies with post-harvest practices and appropriate improved practices should be adopted to an existing value chain and marketing system.
