Real-Time Chilled Broiler Meat Freshness Monitoring with Colorimetric Labels: Research

This research explores the use of colorimetric labels for real-time monitoring of chilled broiler meat freshness. Colorimetric labels offer a non-invasive and practical method for assessing the freshness of food products. The research aims to develop a reliable and accurate system for detecting changes in meat freshness based on colorimetric changes in the labels. This approach holds the potential to improve food safety and quality by providing consumers with a clear indication of the meat's freshness status. The research methodology involves the development of colorimetric labels sensitive to specific freshness indicators, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or microbial growth. The labels are then applied to chilled broiler meat samples, and their color changes are monitored over time. The correlation between color changes and the actual freshness of the meat is established through analysis of chemical and microbial data. The research findings are expected to contribute to the development of effective and user-friendly freshness monitoring systems for chilled broiler meat, enhancing consumer confidence and reducing food waste.
