With the advancement of smart packaging technology, the "smartification" upgrade of desiccant and oxygen-scavenging materials has become a new research hotspot. By integrating these materials with sensing technologies, it’s now possible to monitor environmental parameters inside the package—such as humidity and oxygen concentration—in real time, and visually communicate this data back to users, offering a cutting-edge technological solution for product quality control.
Technical R&D personnel explained that the core of intelligent drying and deoxygenation materials lies in integrating miniature sensors with signal feedback units. For instance, in food packaging, these materials can be combined with humidity-sensitive dyes. When the humidity inside the package exceeds a preset threshold, the dye changes color, allowing users to easily determine whether the product has been exposed to moisture simply by observing the color shift. Meanwhile, by embedding a wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip, the system can continuously track changes in oxygen concentration within the package. Businesses can then use dedicated equipment to read this data, enabling full-process monitoring of product transportation and storage. Currently, this technology is being piloted in high-end pharmaceutical packaging, but it holds great potential for broader adoption in industries such as food and cosmetics, ultimately providing more comprehensive safeguards for product quality and safety.
