| contents | In the food industry, innovative packaging solutions are increasingly important for reducing food waste and for contributing to global sustainability efforts. However, current food packaging is generally passive and unable to adapt to changes in the food environment in real-time. To address this, we have developed a battery-less and autonomous smart packaging system that wirelessly powers closed-loop sensing and release of active compounds. This system integrates a gas sensor for real-time food monitoring, a Near-Field Communication (NFC) antenna, and a controlled release of active compounds to prevent quality deterioration in the complex food environment. We have demonstrated the ability of the developed smart packaging system, to continuously monitor the freshness of fish products and to trigger the release of active compounds when the food starts to spoil. The system was able to extend the shelf-life of the food product up to 14 days, due to the controlled release of antioxidant and antibacterial compounds. Our system could pave the way towards an Internet of Things solution that addresses protection, active prevention of food spoilage and sustainability, facing all the current challenges of the food packaging industry. |
