Abstract
This study focused on the fabrication and comparative evaluation of five high sensitivity and stability indicator films, incorporated with different MOFs: MIL-101-Fe, MIL-101-NH2-Al, UiO-66-Zr, UiO-66-NH2-Zr, and Cu-MOF-NH2. The morphological characteristics of the dyes and the corresponding indicator films were systematically characterized. Migration performance tests revealed a significant reduction in anthocyanin migration in the films PCR-M1N, PCR-U6N, and PCR-CuN when exposed to fatty food simulants (maximum absorbance value has decreased from 0.27 to a range of 0.06–0.11). In addition, very low migration levels of anthocyanins were recorded in neutral food simulants for the films PCR-M1 and PCR-U6. pH response and volatile amine analysis demonstrated that MOFs modified with -NH2 groups exhibit enhanced colorimetric sensitivity. The PCR-CuN film exhibited a more pronounced color change (ΔE 14.9 → 25.19) compared to the PCR film (ΔE 47.37 → 39.46) within the pH range of 5–7. Notably, the PCR-U6N film exhibited excellent NH3 responsiveness (transitioning from red to purple) during monitoring of fresh pork. In parallel, the PCR-CuN film displayed high sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a byproduct of shrimp spoilage, via Cu2+ redox reactions (transitioning from red to green). This work provided a more precise and customizable approach for intelligent food packaging, highlighting the critical role of MOFs functionalization in targeting species-specific spoilage biomarkers.
