Food Traceability 4.0 (FT 4.0) is about tracing foods in the era of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) with techniques and technologies reflecting this new revolution. Interest in food traceability has gained momentum in response to, among others events, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing the need for digital food traceability that prevents food fraud and provides reliable information about food. This review will briefly summarize the most common conventional methods available to determine food authenticity before highlighting examples of emerging techniques that can be used to combat food fraud and improve food traceability. A particular focus will be on the concept of FT 4.0 and the significant role of digital solutions and other relevant Industry 4.0 innovations in enhancing food traceability. Based on this review, a possible new research topic, namely FT 4.0, is encouraged to take advantage of the rapid digitalization and technological advances occurring in the era of Industry 4.0. The main FT 4.0 enablers are blockchain, the Internet of things, artificial intelligence, and big data. Digital technologies in the age of Industry 4.0 have significant potential to improve the way food is traced, decrease food waste and reduce vulnerability to fraud opening new opportunities to achieve smarter food traceability. Although most of these emerging technologies are still under development, it is anticipated that future research will overcome current limitations making large-scale applications possible.
食品可追溯性 4.0(FT 4.0)是指在第四次工业革命(工业 4.0)时代,利用反映这一新革命的技术和技术来追踪食品。人们对食品可追溯性的兴趣与日俱增,其中包括 COVID-19 大流行的爆发,这加强了对数字食品可追溯性的需求,以防止食品欺诈并提供有关食品的可靠信息。本综述将简要总结确定食品真实性的最常见常规方法,然后重点介绍新兴技术的示例,这些技术可用于打击食品欺诈和提高食品可追溯性。特别关注的是 FT 4.0 的概念以及数字解决方案和其他相关工业 4.0 创新在增强食品可追溯性方面的重要作用。基于此综述,鼓励提出一个新的研究课题,即 FT 4.0,以利用工业 4.0 时代快速数字化和技术进步的优势。FT 4.0 的主要推动者是区块链、物联网、人工智能和大数据。工业 4.0 时代的数字技术具有显著提高食品追踪方式、减少食品浪费和降低欺诈脆弱性的潜力,为实现更智能的食品可追溯性开辟了新的机会。尽管这些新兴技术中的大多数仍在开发中,但预计未来的研究将克服当前的限制,使其能够进行大规模应用。
