“…Active antimicrobial packaging composites interact with packaged food and headspace to reduce, delay, or even inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms (Otoni, Espitia, Avena-Bustillos, & McHugh, 2016). The incorporation of certain antimicrobial NPs in polymers has led to the development of antimicrobially-active packaging materials that have the capability to prevent growth or inactivate microorganisms and hence, preserve the quality of muscle-based food products during transportation and storage.…”

“…Another option is the incorporation of the EO in sachets or pads, so that the EO has no direct contact with the food. Sachets are one of the most common and successful ways of incorporating active agents [69]. An LDPE sachet containing encapsulated allyl isothiocyanate (AIT, from mustard or horseradish oil) showed antimicrobial effects against E. coli, moulds, and yeasts on fresh spinach leaves [70].…”

During recent years the market for convenience foods has grown rapidly. More and more consumers prefer ready-to-eat (RTE) products because of their advantageous minimal input of time and effort. The increasing awareness of health means there is a need for nutritious, high quality ready meals. Due to technological developments, the packaging industry is continuously coming up with innovative packaging. This is being driven by ecological challenges, policy, and consumer demands. However, only a few studies have hitherto been published on innovative packaging concepts for RTE food. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the status quo and recent progress in this area. It is important to understand the crucial factors for food packaging for RTE food, namely food safety and quality. Packaging concepts have focused on preventing microbial growth, so protecting consumers from food-borne diseases. Bio-based packaging materials such as polylactic acid and chitosan have limited mechanical properties. The use of nanomaterials or natural essential oils to replace synthetic additives could alleviate this. The combination with modified atmosphere packaging showed improvements and prolongation of the shelf life.

“…In this way, the product can respond to stimuli generated by the environment or from the product being packaged. It relects the change in a manner that makes the product more available, more useful, and more long life [5][6][7].…”

Urgent need of increased food production and availability are crucial in humankind future. A key aspect concerns the food preservation, wherein packaging is a main aspect. Packaging is still in a primitive form, utilized as a way to separate food from environmental conditions, not considering the inside situation. Improvement of packaging means less cost, more food available, and waste decrease. Several solutions are emerging to face this challenge. They are focused on three aspects: the antimicrobial agent; the packaging material; and the technological implication in the inal production of packaging. Biotechnology is expected to play a central role in the future food to solve central points, as retain integrity and actively prevent food spoilage. In this phase, several projects are moving, still waiting to converge in adequate products. The galaxy of smart packaging is rapidly moving and increasing in researches. This phase represents a chaotic period of several proposals production and tentative in solving the food preservative problems, using new technologies and advanced techniques, like nanotechnology. Waiting the collapse into a central paradigm, it is interesting and useful to follow the scenario of researches on smart packaging based on natural products here reported.
