ABSTRACT

Food quality and safety are very important in our daily lives. The food supply chain is very complex, and the transparency, traceability, and sustainability of the food in the supply chain must be improved further by quality monitoring in real-time. However, the food themselves have biological liveliness, and the traditional rigid internet of smart sensing systems has issues such as inflexibility in deployment, low biological adaptability, high energy consumption, low device fabrication efficiency, and high cost for food organisms and systems. Their normal operation requires additional battery energy for power supply. Once the energy is depleted, the process of food quality monitoring will be forced to be interrupted and unsustainable. Therefore, developing a battery-free wireless sensing network for food monitoring would have the potential to increase the innovative development of food quality.
