Food packaging has a crucial function in the modern food industry. New food packaging technologies seek to meet consumers and industrial's demands. Changes related to food production, sale practices and consumers' lifestyles, along with environmental awareness and the advance in new areas of knowledge (such as nanotechnology or biotechnology), act as driving forces to develop smart packages that can extend food shelf-life, keeping and supervising their innocuousness and quality and also taking care of the environment. This review describes the main concepts and types of active and intelligent food packaging, focusing on recent progress and new trends using biodegradable and biobased polymers. Numerous studies show the great possibilities of these materials. Future research needs to focus on some important aspects such as possibilities to scale-up, costs, regulatory aspects, and consumers' acceptance, to make these systems commercially viable.

“…This could be because of the complex nature of the method, which is based on the measurement of the sound emitted by fruit as it vibrates in response to a gentle tap with a small pendulum [86]. compared to RFID [91]. However, their application as tools in monitoring and optimizing cold chain processes is scarce.…”

“…This non-contact identification communication technology can automatically identify multiple objects moving at high-speed, and therefore can be applied in the transport cold chain, specifically as an IoT enabler [90]. Similarly, PTS which uses the printing process, such as inkjet printing, nanoimprinting, screen printing, etc., to prepare electronic circuits on a flexible substrate enables the monitoring of temperature, moisture, pressure, and motion of fresh produce [91]. This technology has the advantage of flexibility when printed on substrates, ease of distribution, and low cost especially when compared to RFID [91].…”

Fruits and vegetables are highly nutritious agricultural produce with tremendous human health benefits. They are also highly perishable and as such are easily susceptible to spoilage, leading to a reduction in quality attributes and induced food loss. Cold chain technologies have over the years been employed to reduce the quality loss of fruits and vegetables from farm to fork. However, a high amount of losses (≈50%) still occur during the packaging, pre-cooling, transportation, and storage of these fresh agricultural produce. This study highlights the current state-of-the-art of various advanced tools employed to reducing the quality loss of fruits and vegetables during the packaging, storage, and transportation cold chain operations, including the application of imaging technology, spectroscopy, multi-sensors, electronic nose, radio frequency identification, printed sensors, acoustic impulse response, and mathematical models. It is shown that computer vision, hyperspectral imaging, multispectral imaging, spectroscopy, X-ray imaging, and mathematical models are well established in monitoring and optimizing process parameters that affect food quality attributes during cold chain operations. We also identified the Internet of Things (IoT) and virtual representation models of a particular fresh produce (digital twins) as emerging technologies that can help monitor and control the uncharted quality evolution during its postharvest life. These advances can help diagnose and take measures against potential problems affecting the quality of fresh produce in the supply chains. Plausible future pathways to further develop these emerging technologies and help in the significant reduction of food losses in the supply chain of fresh produce are discussed. Future research should be directed towards integrating IoT and digital twins for multiple shipments in order to intensify real-time monitoring of the cold chain environmental conditions, and the eventual optimization of the postharvest supply chains. This study gives promising insight towards the use of advanced technologies in reducing losses in the postharvest supply chain of fruits and vegetables.

“…The upsurge of interest in solution processed/printed TFTs and circuits can be associated to a wide range of potential applications that include multisensor platforms, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] sensor backplanes, [8,9] display backplanes, [10][11][12] smart textiles, [13][14][15] smart toys, [16][17][18] smart packaging [19][20][21] and a large variety of flexible electronics and Internet of Things (IoT) related applications. [22,23] In this quest, various novel and emerging semiconductor materials such as polymers, organic small molecules, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and inorganic oxide semiconductors have been explored; on the other hand, starting from solution processed conventional high-k dielectrics, [24][25][26][27][28] to various composition of the electrolyte.…”

kinds of solid electrolytes [29-40] have been used as the gate insulators. Within this solution processed/printable semiconductor technologies, inorganic oxides hold paramount positions owing to their unparalleled transport properties, abundance and low cost. [41-43] In fact, the performance of printed oxide TFTs have steadily improved over the recent times and have certainly become substantially superior to their organic counterparts. In this regard, among the oxide semiconductors of choice, indium oxide have received specific attention due to their chemical and environmental stability resulting in high device lifetime and particularly high carrier mobility which can be easily reproduced even when they are solution processed. [44-47] In the present study, the indium oxide precursor ink has long been adjusted for its easy printability, homogeneous film formation and improved electronic transport/carrier mobility values. With this thoroughly optimized semiconductor material, different solid electrolytic insulators in the form of CSPEs and ion gels have been examined for their device performance and relative environmental stability. Recently, solution processed high-k oxide dielectrics have also shown good promise with low process temperature and device performance. However, high performance solid electrolytes may always offer crucial advantage in terms of semiconductor/insulator interface quality, high gating efficiency, easy printability, room temperature processability and high capacitance values enabling extremely low operating voltages of the TFTs (<2 V). [38,48-51] The first notable instance of employing electrolytes in fieldeffect transistors (FETs) can be traced back to the work carried out by Bergveld in 1970, which has later been used as ion-sensitive FET sensors. [52] Tardella and Chazalviel in 1985 studied nonaqueous electrolytes. [53] One of the earliest examples of solid electrolyte has been poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) doped with lithium salt. [54] In this regard, Frisbie and co-workers had reported solid polymer electrolyte based on mixture of lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4) salt in a PEO polymer matrix to be used as gate insulator in electronic devices. [55,56] As a result of the increased cross-linking points due to the interaction between the Li + and the PEO chains, the ion transport in these electrolytes is primarily dependent on the temperature and the Printed oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) have outperformed their organic counterparts in the recent past; printable solid electrolytic insulators have also emerged as a suitable alternative to oxide dielectrics. In the present study, multiple composite solid polymer electrolytes (CSPEs) and an easyto-formulate ion gel are fabricated and characterized for their double-layer capacitance (C DL) values and the quality of electrostatic coupling. In the next step, alongside printed In 2 O 3 as the semiconductor channel, the performance of the solid electrolytes is evaluated using printed top-gate TFTs. The semiconductor ink formulation and the device ar...
