5. Application of metal oxide nanoparticles for smart packaging
Radio frequency identification (RFID) involves the use of tags, which can be either passive or active, to transmit the data required for product traceability (e.g. food products). Unlike active tags, which use batteries, passive tags draw their energy from the reader's electromagnetic signal, which activates the tag to transmit information.
Intelligent packaging does not interact with the food, but monitors the condition of the packaged product and provides information on food quality degradation using indicators (labels) and sensors. It enables traceability with unique codes and labels such as barcodes and RFID tags. Environmental conditions monitored inside or outside the package include time temperature, freshness and gas leakage indicators, as well as relative humidity sensors. Freshness indicators, usually color-changing...
