Abstract

Objective
Food contamination and food waste have contributed significantly to the rising incidence of foodborne illnesses and food scarcity globally. There is a pressing necessity to create a more intelligent food traceability system. Recent breakthroughs in biosensor (BS) technology have resulted in the development of user-friendly, fast, specific, highly sensitive, and affordable BSs. These improvements hold significant potential in addressing the urgent need for on-site and prompt detection and treatment of food security and quality control issues, commonly referred to as point-of-care technologies. Blockchain (BC) offers an unchangeable and easily visible record that brings benefits in the traceability of fresh food quality and the real-time monitoring of it.
 
Results
This paper explores the correlation between BC, traceability, and real-time food quality monitoring. It highlights the latest technological advancements in food tracing and continuous surveillance that can offer valuable data for BC implementation. The discussion focuses on using BSs in farming at the pre-harvest phase to identify and manage plant diseases or stresses at an early phase. 
 
 
 
 
Conclusions
This article focuses on the recent progress in BSs within the Food Supply Chain (FSC), specifically in the post-harvest phase. It highlights the advancements in detecting various types of food pollutants and the development of intelligent food packaging.
