Biosensors and Smart Packaging for Food Products: A Sustainable Development Approach addresses the emerging field of intelligent food packaging systems which monitor and maintain food quality and safety throughout the supply chain. This book meets the growing research demand for sustainable, biodegradable, and food-grade sensor technologies that provide real-time freshness and spoilage indicators, helping reduce food waste and enhance consumer confidence. The book’s comprehensive chapters cover fundamental principles, recent innovations, and practical applications of active and intelligent packaging systems, including biosensors, RFID technologies, freshness indicators, and wireless sensor integration. Contributors from leading global institutions discuss challenges in commercialization, regulatory frameworks, and case studies on diverse food products such as seafood, meat, and plant-based foods, providing a holistic view of this interdisciplinary field. Biosensors and Smart Packaging for Food Products: A Sustainable Development Approach benefits its readers by delivering critical insights into the design, fabrication, and implementation of smart packaging solutions. It serves as an essential resource for advancing sustainable food packaging technologies that improve food safety, quality assurance, and environmental impact, supporting innovation in academia and the food industry.Provides comprehensive, updated knowledge on biosensors and smart packaging for food safetyExplores sustainable and biodegradable materials for smart packaging applicationsDiscusses regulatory, ethical, and standardization aspects relevant to smart packagingHighlights challenges and solutions for commercialization of sensor-integrated food processing systems

Agri-food processing residues are end products emerging after food and industrial processing operations. These waste products are a goldmine, as they possess valuable organic matter such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, and phenolic compounds that can be diverted toward high-value products.This book covers biomolecules and bioproduct synthesis from agricultural residues with a circular economy approach. It explores the benefits of adopting a sustainable approach, including reducing waste sent to landfills, decreasing reliance on other feedstocks, and potentially reducing pressure on resources used for food production. It also provides valuable insights into emerging trends and technologies for valorizing both agricultural and food waste.With a blend of technological insights and comprehensive coverage of the potential for agri-food waste valorization, this book will suit industry professionals and students seeking to explore the potential benefits of a circular economy.Key Features: Presents a critical analysis of agricultural and food processing wastes, their environmental impacts, and scope of valorization in the context of a circular economy Discusses the up-to-date literature survey of agri-food waste valorization technologies Includes applications of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence in the extraction of value-added products from organic waste
