Abstract:
Food packaging constitutes a pivotal enabler within the contemporary food industry, requiring continuous innovation to address evolving challenges. Traditional packaging systems typically provide passive protection, which is inadequate for addressing dynamic microbial shifts and spoilage-induced microenvironmental instabilities. In contrast, corrective responsive food packaging (CRFP) takes a distinct approach through the integration of sensing capabilities and targeted active intervention. Upon detection of specific stimuli, CRFP systems precisely deliver bioactive agents to mitigate food deterioration. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in CRFP technology, offering a comprehensive overview of its core response mechanisms, functional materials, advanced carrier systems, and future research priorities. Special emphasis is given to (i) stimuli-responsive systems, including single-stimulus (pH, enzyme, humidity, temperature, and light) and multi-stimulus-responsive systems, detailing their triggering mechanisms and practical applications; and (ii) functional materials and carriers, exploring their synergistic effects for optimized bioactive release. This review aims to provide a structured framework for the design and implementation of CRFP, facilitating its translation from laboratory to industrial practice and contributing to the development of sustainable and efficient food preservation strategies.
