Smart packaging with colorimetric sensors for real-time food quality monitoringThis project focuses on developing low-cost, user-friendly calorimetric sensor indicators integrated into packaging materials. These sensors respond to gases released during food spoilage by changing colour, providing a clear and intuitive signal of produce freshness in real time. Unlike existing temperature-based indicators, this approach directly reflects the biochemical changes associated with spoilage, offering greater specificity and reliability. In addition to fresh produce, the platform will be extended to monitor beverages, where the sensors will interact with liquid samples rather than gases, broadening their applicability.
