Nanotechnology is being regarded as an emerging technology for smart and active food packaging systems, which can apply for advanced gas/moisture barrier, anti-bacterial platforms. Nano-enabled approaches including nanomaterials and nanofabrications have been used mainly to control the shape and surfaces of platforms in nanoscale for enhancing the function of the food packaging systems. In this review, we summarized current nanotechnologies for smart and active food packaging systems with focus on their applications. Finally, new perspectives of nanotechnology-based smart and active food packaging systems are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
