Curcumin exhibits antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory biological properties. Its dual functionality as both a food additive pH-sensitive colorant has led to extensive applications in meat products other systems, thereby garnering significant research interest. In recent years, curcumin-loaded active-intelligent packaging films have emerged promising innovation due their multifunctional capabilities: not only do they prevent microbial contamination extend shelf life, but also enable real-time freshness monitoring through visual colorimetric responses. This paper first delineates the molecular structure fundamental mechanisms of curcumin. Subsequently, it systematically reviews strategies for curcumin incorporation (including encapsulation techniques composite formulations) advanced fabrication methodologies developing biodegradable films. Finally, current polymer-based smart systems are critically analyzed, with prospective directions proposed address existing technological limitations.
