Abstract:SummaryAnnually, 1.3 billion metric tonnes of food get wasted, and packaging is crucial in reducing food wastage. Anthocyanin is a natural pigment found in plants and recently gained attention due to its biodegradability, non‐toxicity, pH‐sensitive colour‐changing characteristic, antioxidative and antimicrobial properties. These characteristics open a new and promising application in intelligent/smart food packaging. In this context, this review highlights the role of anthocyanin in intelligent or smart packag… Show more
