Objectives:To deveop on-pack visual indicators for the real-time monitoring of raw beef steaks in a modified atmospheric packaging(MAP).Materials and Methods:Three indicators were prepared by spray deposition of a nanocellulose suspension(1.5%,in mass)with the desired concentration of the pH-sensitive indicators,either red cabbage(RC)extract,black carrot(BC)extract,or chlorophenol red(CPR).The responsive-ness 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 ℃ or 20 ℃,was analysed over 7 d.Results:All the indicators showed a colour change for beef steak stored at 4 ℃ for 7 d that was noticeable with the naked eye and had a ΔE value>12.The sensitivity of the RC pH indicator was superior to that of 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.Conclusions: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.
