Smart food sensors with embedded microprocessors and wireless communication links have high potential to increase the speed in which food quality and safety are monitored, controlled, and maintained. Smart food sensing both off-package and on-package, and the application of the IoT (Internet of Things) have changed fundamentally the way that food is monitored and supply chain systems are managed. This chapter discusses smart food sensing and IoT application in the food sector so that producers can select which technology will benefit them most. Smart food sensing is used in the food sector to enhance functionality in terms of safety and shelf-life via technology. For instance, intelligent packaging can be used on an on-package sensor to monitor the food conditions, such as freshness or ripeness. In comparison, the IoT is applied to allow producers or consumers to interact with a food product through a sensor that can be accessed via a mobile device. Finally, the role of the IoT, including computer vision and deep learning, in the food industry is discussed. |
