A cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based pH-sensitive indicator was developed by mixing CNF with red radish color extract (RRCE) to analyze the freshness of minced pork. Among various mixing conditions of RRCE solutions (0.4-1.6%) and CNF (0.5-1.25%), 0.8% RRCE/1% CNF showing higher mechanical properties, lower response to water, lower leakage of RRCE, and higher sensitivity to ammonia was selected as optimum. Ultraviolet-visible light transmittance and structural properties of the film indicated successful incorporation of RRCE into CNF, with rapid response to changes in pH caused by ammonia solution. The water vapor permeability of the indicator was maintained for 48 h. The fabricated pH-sensitive indicator showed apparent color changes from red color (fresh) to purple color (spoiled) during pork storage at refrigeration temperature. In addition, the deterioration degree was compared by measuring pH, microbial counts, and total volatile base-nitrogen level, confirming the applicability of this CNF-based film as a pH indicator.

Hydrogel beads from rice milk and blueberry (BB) skins were fabricated as novel bio-based pH-sensitive devices. The encapsulation of BB into rice milk/alginate beads was achieved through a simple methodology. The colourimetric response of beads in different pH media was evaluated along with the proof of reusability, showing appropriate reversibility.

Multifunctional smart biopolymeric films were fabricated using rose petal anthocyanin (RPA) and carrageenan (CAR) doped with rose petal-derived carbon dots (RP-CDs). Response surface-optimized RPA showed the highest total anthocyanins and radical scavenging ability. Produced RP-CD exhibited UV absorption and high fluorescence with antibacterial/antioxidant abilities.

This study investigated cadaverine as a spoilage indicator in commercial beef products stored under conditions favourable for the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Samples included vacuum-skin-packed entrecotes (EB) aged up to 42 days and modified-atmosphere-packed (70% O + 30% CO) minced beef (MB) stored at 5 °C. Two MB product lines were analysed: one stored aerobically two days post-slaughter before mincing and another stored for 14 days in vacuum packaging prior to mincing.

Carvacrol is well documented for its antibacterial and antioxidant effects. However, its high volatility has directed researchers toward nanoencapsulation technology according to bioeconomy and sustainability trends. This study examined and compared free carvacrol (FC), carvacrol microemulsion (MC), carvacrol microemulsion busted with chitosan (MMC), and carvacrol nanoemulsions (NC) as active coatings on extending minced pork meat shelf life at 4 ± 1 °C for 9 days, focusing on microbiological, physiochemical, and sensory characteristics.

A two-step method for preparing smart labels that can monitor food freshness through color change is presented. The conventional casting method for such labels is not cost-effective, as it uses organic solvents and requires additional cutting processes. Our method is more eco-friendly and customizable, as it uses water as the sole solvent and 3D printing as the fabrication technique.
