Summary: The development of intelligent indicator film is a new trend in food packaging. It has been found that the addition of anthocyanin improves the hydrophobicity and oxidation resistance of the film, causing its color to change with pH. This intelligent indicator film can be used to detect the pH changes in salmon and determine its freshness.

Summary: This study aims to develop a freshness indicator for fish products that changes color to indicate the presence of ammonia. Through an optimization experiment, cresol red and bromocresol purple were selected as the indicator mixture. The indicator's color change was monitored using pH-sensitive sensors, and the chromatic parameter ΔE value increased significantly with the storage period of fish products.

Summary: An intelligent pH-sensing indicator containing Roselle and curcumin was developed as an on-package indicator tags to check the freshness of shrimp during storage at 4 degrees C. The colorimetric film showed response to changes in pH and produced various colors indicating the freshness and spoilage of packaged shrimp. Therefore, this smart packaging material can be utilized for real-time monitoring of the freshness of shrimp and aquatic products.

Summary: A novel intelligent label was developed to monitor the freshness of fresh-cut papaya by detecting the CO2 concentration inside the package through color changes. The label, made from a mixture of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, carrageenan, and bromothymol blue, exhibited improved physical properties and thermal stability. The color changes of the label correlated strongly with the CO2 concentration.
