智能包装技术在食品供应链中的应用研究进展

Progress in Application of Intelligent Packaging Technologies in Food Supply Chain

食物浪费问题是全世界亟待解决的难题,智能包装能实现产品的实时跟踪,为食品包装决策提供信息支持,从而降低食品的损耗。本文综述了智能包装的概念、国内外智能包装技术(时间-温度指示剂、泄漏指示剂、新鲜度监测技术、成熟度监测技术、条码技术、射频识别技术、增强现实技术)在食品领域中的研究进展和智能包装技术现存的问题。提出了智能包装技术低成本化、多功能化以及安全化的发展方向,以期推广智能包装技术的应用,减少食物浪费。

Food waste is a worldwide problem to be solved urgently.Intelligent packaging allows real-time tracking of products,and provides supporting information for food packaging decision making,thereby reducing food loss.This article reviews the concept of intelligent packaging,the intelligent packaging technologies(time-temperature indicators,leak indicators,freshness monitoring technology,maturity monitoring technology,barcode technology,radio frequency identification technology and augmented reality technology),and the problems of applying them in the food field.It proposes that intelligent packaging would develop a low-cost,multi-functional and safe direction.This review is expected to help promote the intelligent packaging technologies to reduce food waste.
