Summary: Biogenic amines (BAs), nitrogenous molecules present in various foods, can indicate freshness and food quality as their levels increase during spoilage. Detecting BAs in real time using smart packaging is crucial for ensuring food safety and meeting consumer demands. This study developed a user-friendly colorimetric sensing paper that can visually detect BAs. The paper sensor, using the natural cross-linking agent genipin, was able to produce water-soluble blue pigments when binding with BAs. The sensor was successfully applied to monitoring chicken meat quality and achieved a limit of detection equivalent to 0.1 mM of putrescine through quantitative analysis using a smartphone camera. The sensor's suitability was verified by integrating it into smart packaging and analyzing commercial chicken meat samples stored at different temperatures, with results aligning with the labeled best before date and confirming the sensor's potential as a smart label.

Summary: A Dyes/Dyes-Cu-MOF paper-based colorimetric sensor array was developed to discriminate wheat with different mildew rates. The array points captured volatile gases emitted by wheat and provided RGB values. The correlation between AR/AG/AB values and odor components was established, and LDA achieved perfect discrimination for all samples or divided them into high and low mildew areas. This method provides a fast, visual, and nondestructive tool for monitoring food safety and quality based on odor visualization.
