In response to current necessities, traditional food packaging has led to smart packaging. CO2 inside food packages is a key factor to control. CO2 sensors can give information about the modified atmosphere integrity, indicating that the inner atmosphere is intact or if it has been broken and therefore the used by date must not be trusted, or about how fresh is the packaged product. This article briefly describes the types of packaging (traditional and smart) and how CO2 sensors can be used in the food industry. Different approaches for their integration in packaged food are described and the characteristics that must comply in order to be integrated in the agro-alimentary industry.}, organization = {European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 706303 (Multisens)}, organization = {CTQ2016–78754-C2-1-R project from the Spanish MINECO.}, keywords = {CO2 sensors}, keywords = {Smart packaging}, keywords = {Intelligent packaging}, title = {Carbon dioxide sensors for food packaging}, author = {Pérez de Vargas Sansalvador, Isabel María and Erenas Rodríguez, Miguel María and Martínez Olmos, Antonio and Fernández Ramos, María Dolores and Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín}, }
