Food packaging plays an important role in protecting the safety and quality of food products and enables communication with consumers. With the improved consumers' awareness of safety and quality of food products, the changes in consumers' lifestyle, and the growing demand for transparency of food products along the supply chain, food packaging technologies have evolved from only providing the four fundamental functions (i.e., protection and preservation, containment, communication and marketing, and convenience) to possessing additional functions including active modification of the inside microenvironment (i.e., active packaging) and monitoring the safety and quality of products in real-time (i.e., intelligent packaging). A variety of active and intelligent packaging systems have been developed to better protect and monitor the quality and safety of food products during the past several decades. Recently, advanced versions of smart packaging technologies, such as smart active packaging and smart intelligent packaging technologies have also been developed to enhance the effectiveness of conventional smart packaging systems. Additionally, smart packaging systems that harvest the advantages of both active packaging and intelligent packaging have also been developed. In this chapter, a brief overview of smart packaging technologies was provided. Specific technologies being covered include conventional smart packaging technologies and advanced smart packaging technologies, such as smart active packaging, smart intelligent packaging and dual-function smart packaging.
食品包装在保护食品产品的安全和质量以及与消费者进行沟通方面发挥着重要作用。随着消费者对食品产品安全和质量意识的提高、消费者生活方式的改变以及对供应链中食品产品透明度的需求不断增长，食品包装技术已经从仅提供四项基本功能（即保护和保存、容纳、沟通和营销以及便利）发展到具有额外功能，包括主动修改内部微环境（即活性包装）和实时监测产品的安全和质量（即智能包装）。在过去几十年中，已经开发出各种主动和智能包装系统，以更好地保护和监测食品产品的质量和安全。最近，还开发出了智能包装技术的高级版本，如智能主动包装和智能智能包装技术，以增强传统智能包装系统的有效性。此外，还开发出了结合了活性包装和智能包装优点的智能包装系统。本章简要概述了智能包装技术。涵盖的具体技术包括常规智能包装技术和先进的智能包装技术，如智能主动包装、智能智能包装和双功能智能包装。
