Abstract

Today, researchers refuse to use the traditional packaging systems because these systems do not offer any information about the quality of meat products at any stage of the supply chain to the consumers and producers and the use of new technologies is recommended to monitor the quality and spoilage of fresh meat products, with the aim of reducing the incidence of food intoxication and the production of meat waste along the chain. While the traditional packaging systems are able to provide few services in the field of supply chain monitoring, the new intelligent packaging systems with the aim of monitoring the quality of packaged meat or its environment are advancing towards providing innovative solutions in the industry of production and supply of meat products. This information will be readily available to the consumer through color detection indicators in packaged meat after spoilage. The use of metal nanoparticles demonstrates excellent communication performance compared to the traditional colorimetric indicators due to its unique optical properties and high level of reactivity for monitoring the condition of packaged meat or the environment around the product. This paper focuses on scientific research and recent technological breakthroughs related to nanotechnology-derived colorimetric indicators, and the challenges of their application are highlighted and discussed to provide the required information for future development.
