Abstract
The main aim of this project is the set-up of green, smart sensors for visual monitoring food quality and reducing the waste of high perishable foods. Eco-friendly colorimetric sensors array will be designed, optimized and tested for quality monitoring on a model food. Three food categories will be fully characterized, during the whole shelf-life, in terms of microbial population, volatile molecule profiles, colour and textural changes in order to establish a link between the change of sensor’s colors and variations in microbial populations and metabolites. The sensor prototypes will be validated on the target foods at optimal/non-optimal storage conditions by using a multidisciplinary approach.
