Active and intelligent packaging
Metal oxide nanoparticles for active, intelligent and safe food packaging

Traditional packaging: packaging that protects the food by acting as a barrier to the outside world.

Active packaging: packaging with active functions beyond passive inert containment and product protection, thanks to incorporated constituents which release or absorb substances into the packaged foodstuffs or their environment.

Intelligent packaging: packaging fitted with sensors and indicators to control food packaging and provide information on food quality during transport and storage.
