Published: Jan. 13, 2025

This review examines the potential of nanomaterials in revolutionizing food packaging, focusing on their role enhancing barrier properties and extending shelf life packaged foods. Traditional packaging materials often fall short effectively protecting against oxygen, moisture, UV light, resulting diminished quality shorter life. Nanomaterials, including nanoclays, metal oxide nanoparticles (e.g., ZnO, TiO₂), carbon-based graphene, carbon nanotubes), biodegradable options like cellulose nanocrystals, have emerged as promising solutions. These offer exceptional gas moisture properties, antimicrobial effects, protection capabilities. The provides an in-depth exploration various nanomaterials, highlighting distinctive mechanisms; such tortuosity which enhance performance by limiting permeability. It also discusses recent advancements integrating into both flexible rigid systems, well active intelligent that employs nanosensors for real-time monitoring freshness spoilage. Despite potential, challenges toxicity concerns, environmental impacts, economic constraints to large-scale adoption are addressed. emphasizes need future research dual-function can simultaneously improve enable sensing. innovations could transform technologies, promoting enhanced safety sustainability.
