Biosensors and biopolymer-based nanocomposites for smart food packaging: Challenges and opportunities

The concept of smart food packaging based on biosensors and biopolymer-based nanocomposites has been attracting more interest to the industrial community because concerns quality safety. A biosensor with a scope enable real-time monitoring microbial breakdown products packaged foods. Biopolymer-based (named bionanocomposites) have extensively studied over past few decades due their excellent mechanical, thermal, optical, antimicrobial properties. Despite significant progress made in different studies regarding uses bionanocomposites, potential challenges opportunities them developing not properly addressed. idea integrating bionanocomposites using as can be milestone for industries. Therefore, it is important know about sustainable affordable materials. focus this review outline existing research developments (R&D) provide some perspectives future
