Abstract:
Smart biofilms offer an innovative solution for meat preservation by enabling responsive control over microbial growth and oxidation. This review systematically analyzes the development of biopolymer and synthetic polymer-based films with enhanced mechanical, barrier, and stimulus-responsive properties. These smart films enable targeted release of active agents, outperforming conventional methods in extending shelf life and preserving quality. Future efforts should prioritize the scalable, eco-friendly production and safety concerns (potential leaching of toxic materials into meat products) to support the intelligent transformation of meat preservation practices.
