Meat freshness is related to food safety and human health. Developing a simple and effective method for on-site detection of meat freshness is essential to ensure food safety. This study aimed to explore a ratiometric fluorescence platform for on-site screening of meat freshness. We synthesized a series of benzothiazole-based fluorescent compounds (BM, BHM and BTH), each with different recognition groups for detecting meat freshness biomarkers cadaverine (Cad) and putrescine (Pte). The optimized 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl-3-aldehyde-5-1,3-indanedione) benzothiazole (BTH) demonstrated a noticeable color and fluorescence change, a fast response (<15 min), and high selectivity and sensitivity (LOD = 70 nM) to Cad. Portable test strips based on BTH were prepared for rapid visual detection of meat freshness, which exhibited visible color and fluorescen color changes to Cad and Pte. Furthermore, a portable smartphone-based fluorescence device integrated with a self-programmed Python program was fabricated and used on-site to monitor Cad and Pte within 5 min. The BTH-loaded portable test strips were successfully employed as low-cost, high-contrast, fast-response, and smartphone-adaptable fluorescent labels for detecting Cad and Pte in meat samples under different temperatures (25 °C, 4 °C, and -20 °C). This enabled consumers and food supply chain stakeholders to quickly and visually monitor the meat freshness in real beef, chicken, and pork products.

Pork color is crucial for assessing its safety and freshness, and traditional methods of observing through human eyes are inefficient and subjective. In recent years, several methods have been proposed based on computer vision and deep learning have been proposed, which can provide objective and stable evaluations. However, these methods suffer from a lack of standardized data collection methods and large-scale datasets for training, leading to poor model performance and limited generalization capabilities.

Article Synopsis
- A new colorimetric sensor using green-colored silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) detects biogenic amines like histamine, which indicate spoilage in protein-rich foods.
- After optimizing various parameters, the sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.21 μg/mL for histamine, which was further improved to 0.09 μg/mL using smartphone imaging and artificial neural networks.
- The sensor effectively monitored histamine levels in chicken meat over three days, demonstrating its potential for real-time food freshness monitoring.
