Indicator migration within intelligent packaging systems can compromise the safety of the food matrix and the accuracy of coloration, particularly in high humidity packaging. Herein, Eu-BDC-NH-Fluorescein (MOF-Flu) nanofillers were synthesized by the amide coupling, followed by an analysis of their structural, morphological characteristics, and optical response. The MOF-Flu and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) nanomaterials were embedded into a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) substrate to fabricate enhanced packaging films. Several beneficial properties, including superior hydrophobicity and water resistance, improved mechanical properties, and enhanced thermal stability, were observed for CMC-Na/MOF-Flu compared to CMC-Na/MCC. Additionally, the MOF-Flu composite film exhibited improved UV-visible barrier properties, exceptional resistance to pigment migration, and good time-temperature stability. Finally, a significant linear correlation (R = 0.9938, LOD: 1.79-2.90 N/cm, RSD: 2.16%, recovery: 103.93%) was established using a smartphone application to display the relationship between the S-values of MOFs-based films and hardness of fresh-cut Narcissus mangoes at 4 °C. The digital sensing platform utilizing smartphones has pioneered a powerful approach for the on-site rapid quantitative assessment of fresh-cut fruit freshness, significantly enhancing the precision and convenience of intelligent packaging. Furthermore, the developed indicator material MOF-Flu can accurately and non-destructively monitor changes of fruit freshness, alleviating concerns regarding dye contamination during migration.

The accurate identification of postharvest tomato freshness is critical for fruit growers to plan their postharvest storage, transportation, and wholesale processes. In this study, a method based on improved frequency-tuned (FT) visual saliency detection and ResNet34 model is proposed for nondestructive identification of postharvest tomato freshness. The L*, Y, and H components were extracted as effective features to be introduced into the original FT algorithm by performing color space analysis and image processing operations on tomatoes variation images with different freshness levels.

Blueberries with high anthocyanin content undergo various postharvest qualitative losses. In this work, eco-friendly coatings were developed for maintaining postharvest blueberry quality using lipopeptides (LPs), gelatin, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The addition of LPs decreased the surface tension of coating film and thus exhibited lower water contact angle (95.

In response to the rapid quality degradation of peaches due to post-harvest decay, this study developed a composite film for preservation. Two primary pathogens responsible for peach decay, Aspergillus flavus and Talaromyces funiculosus, were identified. Molecular docking attributed to the main binding position of citral and geraniol's interactions with type I polyketide synthase on their antifungal effects, as well as the caffeic acid with its tyrosinase on antioxidant efficacy.
