“…Active packaging is a packaging system that involves the incorporation of active agents into the packaging material to enhance the safety, quality, and shelf life of the food (Kumar et al 2021c ; Vilela et al 2018 ). Active packaging preserves food as it comprises functional systems such as releasing system, absorbing system, removing system, temperature control, microbial control, and quality control (Restuccia et al 2010 ; Yildirim et al 2018 ).…”

“…Around one-third of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, and it has been reported that 59–65% of the food waste can be avoided (Gupta et al 2021a ; Kumar et al 2021c ; Blanke, 2014 ). Broadly, food can be categorized into plant-based food such as fruits and vegetables, cereal-based products, and animal-based food such as meat-based products.…”

Food wastage is a major concern for sustainable health and agriculture. To reduce food waste, classical preservation techniques such as drying, pasteurization, freeze-drying, fermentation, and microwave are available. Nonetheless, these techniques display shortcomings such as alteration of food and taste. Such shortcomings may be solved by active food packaging, which involves the incorporation of active agents into the packaging material. Recently, metal–organic frameworks, a class of porous hybrid supramolecular materials, have been developed as an active agent to extend food shelf life and maintain safety. Here, we review metal–organic frameworks in active packaging as oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, moisture absorbers, and ethylene scavengers. We present methods of incorporation of metal–organic frameworks into packaging materials and their applications.

“…Additionally, active surface materials such as nanoclays (clinoptilolite, pumice, and tobalite) can be used to absorb the phytohormone ethylene physically. These clays could be integrated into packaging applications through extrusion in plastic films [14] or by impregnating paper-based composites [10].…”

“…Alternative materials for ethylene elimination are now commercially available, including silica gel, activated alumina metal oxides, layer silicates, clays, zeolite, and activated carbon, packaged in sachets and inserted into packaging or incorporated together with the packaging material [2,6,[8][9][10]. The impregnation inside the packaging matrix with ethylene scavenging agents rather than adding them directly to the package in sachet form has caused a reduction in the amount of ethylene scavenging agents required while still meeting customer demands for safe and healthy food.…”

“…The impregnation inside the packaging matrix with ethylene scavenging agents rather than adding them directly to the package in sachet form has caused a reduction in the amount of ethylene scavenging agents required while still meeting customer demands for safe and healthy food. The demand for environmentally friendly packaging materials has also accelerated due to concern for global climate change and by that, recent studies on incorporating this scavenging agent into packaging made from waste materials such as pine needles has been carried out and possessed remarkable ethylene scavenging properties [10]. Moreover, packaging that incorporates ethylene removal systems has been shown to significantly delay the ethylene's deterioration effects during storage [11,12].…”

The Emergence and Impact of Ethylene Scavengers Techniques in Delaying the Ripening of Fruits and Vegetables

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As the top grocery list priorities, the primary challenge when purchasing fruits and vegetables from supermarkets is obtaining fresh, minimally processed perishable goods. This source of diet is critical for obtaining vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibres. However, the short shelf life caused by moisture content in rapid deterioration and decay caused by microbial growth, results in unappealing appearances. Fruits and vegetables undergo ripening and eventually the ageing process, in which the tissues of the plants degrade. Even after harvesting, numerous biological processes occur, generating a significant variation of ethylene production along with respiration rates between fruits and vegetables. Thus, the utilization of ethylene scavengers in food packaging or films has been revealed to be beneficial. The synergistic effects of these biomaterials have been demonstrated to reduce microorganisms and prolong the shelf life of greens due to antimicrobial activity, oxygen scavenging capacity, enzyme immobilization, texture enhancers, and nutraceuticals. The current review fills this void by discussing the most recent advances in research on ethylene scavengers and removal mechanisms of ethylene, including oxidation in fruit and vegetable packaging. The application and advantages of ethylene scavengers in packaging are then discussed with the addition of how the efficiency related to ethylene scavengers can be increased through atmospheric packaging tools. In this context, the article discusses characteristics, types of applications, and efficacy of ethylene control strategies for perishable commodities with the inclusion of future implications.
