Smart Packaging with Disposable NFC-enabled Wireless Gas Sensors for Monitoring Food Spoilage.

ABSTRACT: Gas sensors present an alternative to traditional off-package food quality assessment, due to their high sensitivity and fast response without the need of sample pretreatment. The safe integration of gas sensors into packaging without compromising sensitivity, response rate, and stability, however, remains a challenge. Such packaging integration of spoilage sensors is crucial for preventing food waste and transitioning toward more sustainable supply chains. Here, we demonstrate a wide-ranging solution to enable the use of gas sensors for the continuous monitoring of food spoilage, building upon our previous work on paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS). By comparing various materials commonly used in the food industry, we analyze the optimal membrane to encapsulate PEGS for packaging i
