Abstract Intelligent packaging is an emerging area with a high potentials. Sensors and indicators are key elements, together with enabling technologies, for the development of a new generation of packaging able to interact with the sample and the user. Nanotechnology offers interesting opportunities for the development of active components, integration with the packaging, miniaturization, communication, and batteries. However, its use in intelligent packaging is still limited. We report herein a revision of recent examples of sensors including nanomaterials or nanostructures with potential application in packaging. The references include time temperature indicators, pH, moisture and pressure sensors, but most of the reported examples are based in gas sensors. Systems able to respond to the gases present in the head space are of particular relevance because they can be used for freshness monitoring.
