Description

Foodborne illnesses caused by microbial growth and consumption of spoiled food items can lead to severe health issues. Monitoring real-time food quality through indicators/sensors has been an important priority for food industries, researchers, consumers, and regulatory bodies in this context. Intelligent packaging (IP), a type of food packaging, uses an indicator component to track and alert consumers on the quality of packaged food from the stage of manufacture to consumption in real time. Intelligent packaging helps reduce food waste and ensure consumer safety. This book chapter will discuss various food quality indicators, including humidity, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and microbial indicators, and their applications in IP. 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
