Abstract

Nowadays, in response to consumer demand, the development of new packaging with better performance, such as smart packaging, is of great importance. the goal of food packaging was to simultaneously increase food storage time and protect against the risk of internal, external, and oxidative spoilage, and easier transportation of food. But gradually goals such as ensuring the health and quality of food (controlling the growth of microbes, delaying oxidation, improving monitoring, maintaining the taste and smell of food), ease of use, and sustainability of packaging along with marketing and sales of products as promotional role Packing, added. The use of indicators, sensors, and biosensors in packaging has revolutionized packaging functions and led to the creation of a new type of packaging called smart packaging. This type of packaging has been used in developed countries in recent decades and aims to ensure the quality, safety, and health of the product. Due to the importance of fishery products in the household food basket and on the other hand, the rapid decay of these products caused in this study, it is possible to use a variety of smart packages including indicators (freshness, product integrity, food spoilage, lipid rancidity, time and temperature), sensors and biosensors in quality assessment, production and fishery products from the farm (production). Was examined before consumption.
