Sumario:Food waste is exacerbated by logistical issues that result in losses between harvest and retail, affecting the sustainability of food systems with socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Research and development of raw materials, inputs and technologies in food packaging and transportation can reduce losses. Active packaging can be strategic, as in addition to containing products, they incorporate agents that improve sensory characteristics, extending the shelf life of food. This study presents a view of active packaging for foods with eugenol, a natural compound with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, in information from scientific articles (SciELO® platform) and patents (Espacenet® platform). American industries (biotechnology, aesthetics, pharmaceutical and analytical instrument sectors) are the main patent holders. Most of these focus on C11D3/505 (encapsulated aromatic substances). The development of active packaging with eugenol has innovative potential and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations.
