- The limitation of conventional packaging in demonstrating accurate and real-time food expiration dates leads to food waste and foodborne diseases. Real-time food quality monitoring via intelligent packaging could be an effective solution to reduce food waste and foodborne illnesses. This review focuses on recent technological advances incorporated into food packaging for monitoring food spoilage, with a major focus on paper-based sensors and their combination with smartphone. This review paper offers a comprehensive exploration of advanced macromolecular technologies in biodegradable packaging, a general overview of paper-based probes and their incorporation into food packaging coupled with intelligent sensing mechanisms for monitoring food freshness. Given the escalating global concerns surrounding food waste, our manuscript serves as a pivotal resource, consolidating current research findings and highlighting the transformative potential of these innovative packaging solutions. We also highlight the current intelligent paper-based food freshness sensors and their various advantages and limitations. Examples of implementation of paper-based sensors/probes for food storage and their accuracy are presented. Finally, we examined how intelligent packaging can be an alternative to reduce food waste. Several technologies discussed here have good potential to be used in food packaging for real-time food monitoring, especially when combined with smartphone diagnosis.

- Due to the ever-increasing number of diabetic people globally, continuous monitoring of glucose became an increasingly important subject in the field of point-of-care diagnosis. However, there are still many shortcomings of current diagnostic approaches, including materials and device design, comfort, and stability of device performance. Here, brief, albeit comprehensive, information on current trends of using novel materials and techniques to fabricate wearable electrochemical biosensors for continuous and non-invasive glucose monitoring are provided. Flexible materials as versatile substances to fabricate wearable glucose biosensors used in various body fluids, including sweat, interstitial body fluid (ISF), saliva, and tear, are studied. Moreover, current electrode fabrication methods such as printing, laser induction, photolithography, electrodeposition, seed mediation, and dealloying to construct porous and one-dimensional material with interesting mechanical properties are explored. Microfluidic designs and self-powered systems for better control and storage of the body fluids and decreasing the weight, size, and cost of the wearable electrochemical glucose devices are also studied in this review. The overall progress made to date in building such conceptualized efforts for real-time, wearable continuous monitoring of glucose and the future of the field is briefly discussed. This review has benefits compared to previous reviews, as recent developments in continuous glucose monitoring have interestingly combined with two other amazing and innovative subjects of biosensing, including microfluidics and self-powered systems.
