Smart packaging film 'lights up' under UV as meat loses freshness
A new smart packaging film has been developed that can detect when meat is losing freshness by changing color and glowing under UV light. The film reacts to chemical changes caused by spoilage, allowing for a clearer indication of food quality. This innovation offers two ways to track changes in the quality of refrigerated mutton.
Why it's good news: It provides a more effective way to ensure the freshness and safety of meat products.
