Intelligent food packaging: the next generation
Abstract
Since the beginning of the current millennium, food packaging innovation activities have gradually expanded toward the development of intelligent packaging. This evolution reflects the emerging need for new and efficient ways to economize on business processes, solve safety and quality issues through the supply chain, and reduce product losses. The general purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of ongoing scientific research, recent technological breakthroughs, and emerging technologies that offer the perspective of developing a next generation of intelligent food packaging systems to sense, detect, or record changes in the product, the package or its environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
