Desenvolvimento de embalagens inteligentes com alteração colorimétrica incorporadas com antocianinas: uma revisão crítica

Abstract

Resumo Embalagens inteligentes são aquelas que possuem maior aprimoramento em relação à comunicação e ao consumidor, uma vez que fornecem uma informação dinâmica sobre a qualidade real do produto. A presente revisão tem como objetivo analisar o conceito de embalagens inteligentes que utilizam como base polímeros incorporados com antocianinas para alteração colorimétrica, discutindo aspectos do desenvolvimento científico. Foi realizada uma análise crítica da produção científica que trata dos processos utilizados para o desenvolvimento dessas embalagens. O processo de produção está estruturado e controlado com base na demanda atual dos consumidores, uma vez que eles estão cada vez mais alertas em relação à segurança e à qualidade dos alimentos disponibilizados para consumo. Nesse sentido, o desenvolvimento de novas embalagens inteligentes com indicadores ou sensores colorimétricos está diretamente relacionado com a forma de produção, requerendo uma padronização de sua produção e parâmetros, fornecendo uma visão de diversos profissionais, que acabam por desenvolver novas tecnologias promissoras.

Applications and Impacts of Edible Coatings on Food Quality

“…Signaling or "smart" edible coatings use an indicator to provide some signalization to the food and can perform intelligent functions, such as communication through thermal indicators, leak indicators, freshness indicators, pH indicators, sensors, and radio frequency identification tags, among other advanced technologies [19]. In edible coatings, indicators are polymers-based and incorporated with anthocyanins, which allow a visible colorimetric change to inform consumers about the quality and safety of foods available for consumption [3].…”

“…Among the different materials used in its composition, plastics are mainly derived from petrochemical sources [3] and are widely used in the food industry, as they present low production costs, durability, good mechanical properties, and resistance to oils and chemicals [4]. However, because of the prolonged decomposition time, plastic food and beverage packaging is the greatest contributing source of global plastic pollution [5].…”

Advances in the Food Packaging Production from Agri-Food Waste and By-Products: Market Trends for a Sustainable Development

“…Traditional packaging contributes greatly to the logistics of food distribution, maintenance, preservation, and food safety, although some materials leave a gap in terms of sustainability. Researchers have promoted changes in the development of food packaging materials that focus on biodegradability, renewability, and reduced costs, meet the current food safety requirements, and reduce environmental impacts [126,127].…”
