The freshness of fish and shrimp is closely associated with food safety, hence it is a wide concern to develop a facile and effective method for fast, non-destructive and visual screening the freshness of fish and shrimp. Herein, we developed a chromogenic and fluorogenic sensor (RFCC) based on resorufin for sensing of biogenic amines including cadaverine and putrescine. RFCC underwent aminolysis with cadaverine or putrescine, displaying a remarkable fluorescence turn on response at 593 nm along with obvious color change from colorless to pink. RFCC was fabricated into test strips to sense cadaverine vapor, and the RGB value of test strips showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of cadaverine (0.5 - 8.2 × 10 ppm). The RFCC tag was used to in situ screen the freshness of fish and shrimp according to obvious fluorescence change, and satisfactory results were achieved. Furthermore, this test strip was validated by total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), providing a simple, low cost and portable tool to screen the freshness of fish and shrimp for consumers and suppliers without expensive instrumentation.

Smart packaging, also known as intelligent packaging, is responsive to external stimuli, moisture, light, oxygen, heat, pH, and bacterial growth. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol/nanochitosan/phycocyanin nanocomposite (PVA/NCH/PC-NC) for fish fillets of Oncorhynchus mykiss rainbow trout coating was prepared. Five treatments were prepared over a period of 14 days (0, 1, 7 and 14 days) under treatments of T: fish coated with PVA/NCH-NC without PC; T, T T and T fish coated with PVA/NCH/PC-NC (0.

Total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) is an important indicator for evaluating the freshness of aquatic products and holds great significance in assessing food safety. Traditional testing methods for TVB-N content use the Kjeldahl method, which has shortcomings like lengthy processes, cumbersome steps, and sample destruction. This study innovatively couples the hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technique with an odor imaging sensor (OIS) to achieve non-destructive prediction of TVB-N content in the large yellow croaker.

This study aimed to explore the relationship between hypoxanthine (Hx) levels and freshness indicators in three kinds of fish samples during storage for 7 days at 4 °C to determine the Hx levels indicating freshness. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) was tested using the semi-micro Kjeldahl method, and Hx level and K value were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). During storage, Hx levels, TVBN, and K values increased, and distinct patterns were observed between Hx and TVBN in three fish samples.

Freshness in Salmon by Hand-Held Devices: Methods in Feature Selection and Data Fusion for Spectroscopy.

Salmon fillet was analyzed via hand-held optical devices: fluorescence (@340 nm) and absorption spectroscopy across the visible and near-infrared (NIR) range (400-1900 nm). Spectroscopic measurements were benchmarked with nucleotide assays and potentiometry in an exploratory set of experiments over 11 days, with changes to spectral profiles noted. A second enlarged spectroscopic data set, over a 17 day period, was then acquired, and fillet freshness was classified ±1 day via four machine learning (ML) algorithms: linear discriminant analysis, Gaussian naïve, weighted -nearest neighbors, and an ensemble bagged tree method.

The study assessed a developed food-safe on-package label as a real-time spoilage indicator for fish fillets. This colorimetric sensor is sensitive to Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVB-N) levels, providing a correct indication of fish freshness and spoilage. This study evaluates and predicts the shelf-life and effectiveness of an on-package colorimetric indicator.
