“…CQDs play important roles in active food packaging materials. For example, they can be used to improve the mechanical, barrier or optical properties of films [ 72 , 73 , 74 ]; protect packaged food through their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties [ 75 , 76 ]; prevent counterfeiting by creating unique labels [ 77 ]; and detect changes in food quality during storage [ 78 ].…”

Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative structures using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food; in medical and biological sciences; cosmetology; and many other areas of our lives. In this article, a particular attention is focused on carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes and carbon quantum dots that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and broadly defined environmental applications. Some properties of carbon nanomaterials prevent their direct use. One example is the difficulty in synthesizing graphene-based materials resulting from the tendency of graphene to aggregate. This results in a limitation of their use in certain fields. Therefore, in order to achieve a wider use and better availability of nanoparticles, they are introduced into matrices, most often polysaccharides with a high hydrophilicity. Such composites can compete with synthetic polymers. For this purpose, the carbon-based nanoparticles in polysaccharides matrices were characterized. The paper presents the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials, and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.

“…This type of colorimetric pH-sensor, which is also referred to as a halochromic sensor, is typically based on an exchange of protons (H + ) between the pigments and their environment [180]. Some colorimetric indicators can also give a color change in response to the presence of specific volatile compounds, which can also provide an indication of alterations in food quality [17,[181][182][183].…”

Interest in the development of smart and active biodegradable packaging materials is increasing as food manufacturers try to improve the sustainability and environmental impact of their products, while still maintaining their quality and safety. Active packaging materials contain components that enhance their functionality, such as antimicrobials, antioxidants, light blockers, or oxygen barriers. Smart packaging materials contain sensing components that provide an indication of changes in food attributes, such as alterations in their quality, maturity, or safety. For instance, a smart sensor may give a measurable color change in response to a deterioration in food quality. This article reviews recent advances in the development of active and smart biodegradable packaging materials in the food industry. Moreover, studies on the application of these packaging materials to monitor the freshness and safety of food products are reviewed, including dairy, meat, fish, fruit and vegetable products. Finally, the potential challenges associated with the application of these eco-friendly packaging materials in the food industry are discussed, as well as potential future directions.

“…From this perspective, colorimetric and optical indicators were developed by incorporating synthetic pH dyes, natural pH dyes, PDAs, or nanoparticles. Their color changes caused by pH changes correspond to the level of volatile amines (Ma et al., 2021). Recent studies have underlined the use of pH‐sensing indicator films that was incorporated with plant‐derived pigments such as curcumin and anthocyanins to display information on the freshness of foods in real time (Alizadeh‐Sani et al., 2020; Becerril et al., 2021; H. Chen et al., 2020; Y. Li et al., 2019; Mohammadian et al., 2020).…”

“…Some extensive studies on informative responsive packaging, such as freshness indicators and time‐temperature indicators, have already been conducted (Baek et al., 2020; Dodero et al., 2021; Kalpana et al., 2019; Mohammadalinejhad et al., 2020; Rodrigues et al., 2021; Suppakul et al., 2018). Several reviews have summarized and discussed their applications in monitoring the quality of fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, and dairy products (Fang et al., 2017; Gokoglu, 2019; Kalpana et al., 2019; Mirza Alizadeh et al., 2020; Ma et al., 2021; L. Wang et al., 2019). The enhanced communication functions of the informative responsive packaging system enable it to play a key role in improving the safety of foods by tracing and monitoring environmental conditions throughout their shelf life.…”
