Abstract
Three on-pack visual indicators for the real-time monitoring of raw beef steaks in a modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) environment were developed. The indicators were prepared by spray deposition of a nanocellulose (NC) suspension (1.5 wt. %) with the desired concentration of the pH-sensitive indicators, either red cabbage (RC) extract, black carrot (BC) extract, or chlorophenol red (CPR). The responsiveness of the colorimetric pH indicators, assessed visually and by CIE-Lab quantitative analysis, to the freshness of raw beef steaks stored under MAP conditions at 4 °C or 20 °C, was analysed over 7 days. All indicators gave a colour change for beef steak stored at 4 °C for 7 days that was noticeable with the naked eye and had a ΔE value >12. The sensitivity of the RC pH indicator was superior to the BC and CPR pH indicators. A study linking total microbial count (aerobic + Escherichia coli + coliform) and the quantitative colorimetric response of the indicators (ΔE) revealed a strong linear correlation. Thus, it was concluded that the developed colorimetric pH indicators could be used to monitor the freshness of raw beef and as an alternative to the best-before date commonly used in pre-packaged meat.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of electronic materials. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials science, engineering, optics, physics, and chemistry into important applications of electronic materials. Sample research topics that span the journal's scope are inorganic, organic, ionic and polymeric materials with properties that include conducting, semiconducting, superconducting, insulating, dielectric, magnetic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and thermoelectric.
