Abstract

The introduction of nanotechnology in food packaging has significantly transformed and impacted food safety, quality, and shelf-life enhancement. It simplifies the monitoring of product quality in real-time. This review gives an insight into the introductory perspective of food packaging, emphasizing active packaging, biosensors, and intelligent systems. Engineering of these nano-based active package materials to impart preservation, freshness, and safety advantages by interacting with the food environment. Nano-based biosensors play a major role in quality precision and rapid evaluation of packaged food matters. This article also provides advantages and challenges associated with these new-generation technologies to meet the requirements of food industries. To conclude, the future of food safety and preservation will be significantly determined by the increasing impact of nanotechnology in food packaging, making it a more effective, consumer- focused, and environmentally friendly option.
