In this study, we devised a photothermally stable phytochemical dye by leveraging alizarin in conjunction with the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 (AL@ZIF-8). The approach involved grafting alizarin into the microporous structure of ZIF-8 through physical adsorption and hydrogen-bonding interactions. AL@ZIF-8 significantly enhanced the photostability and thermostability of alizarin. The nanoparticles demonstrate substantial color changes in various pH environments, showcasing their potential for meat freshness monitoring. Furthermore, we introduced an intelligent film utilizing poly(vinyl alcohol)-sodium alginate-AL@ZIF-8 (PA-SA-ZA) for detecting beef freshness. The sensor exhibited a superior water contact angle (52.34°) compared to the alizarin indicator. The color stability of the film was significantly enhanced under visible and UV light (Δ < 5). During beef storage, the film displayed significant color fluctuations correlating with TVB-N (=0.9067), providing precise early warning signals for assessing beef freshness.

It is an important task to construct intelligent packaging for meat freshness monitoring with good color stability and indication function. Herein, cobalt-based metal-organic framework nanomaterials (Co-MOF, ZIF-67) with antimicrobial and ammonia-sensitive properties were successfully synthesized and added into gelatin/agar (GA) matrix to develop highly stable intelligent films (GA/ZIF67). The incorporation of ZIF-67 nanoparticles enhanced the hydrophobicity (water contact angle >90°) and UV-blocking properties (close to 0.

Raw pork is prone to oxidation and rancidity as it contains a high level of unsaturated lipid molecules. Reliable biomarkers to benchmark pork freshness and their formation have not been systematically investigated. The results indicated that the peroxide values, TVB-N and rancid volatiles dramatically increased in pork during the storage period (4 °C, 0-9 d).

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.
