“…Once they are put on the food, and in case of temperature abuse, or when the product reaches its use by date, the temperature-dependent growth of the TTI microorganisms causes a pH drop in the tags leading to an irreversible color change of the medium chromatic indicator which becomes red (Ellouze et al, 2008;Taoukis, 2008). Ellouze and Augustin (2010) evaluated (eO) ®, a biological TTI as a quality and safety indicator for ground beef and spiced cooked chicken slices packed under modifi ed atmosphere.…”

PAVELKOVÁ ADRIANA: Time temperature indicators as devices intelligent packaging. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 1, pp. 245-251 Food packaging is an important part of food production. Temperature is a one of crucial factor which aff ecting the quality and safety of food products during distribution, transport and storage. The one way of control of food quality and safety is the application of new packaging systems, which also include the intelligent or smart packaging. Intelligent packaging is a packaging system using diff erent indicators for monitoring the conditions of production, but in particular the conditions during transport and storage. Among these indicators include the time-temperature indicators to monitor changes in temperature, which is exposed the product and to inform consumers about the potential risks associated with consumption of these products. Time temperature indicators are devices that show an irreversible change in a physical characteristic, usually color or shape, in response to temperature history. Some are designed to monitor the evolution of temperature with time along the distribution chain and others are designed to be used in the consumer packages.packaging, intelligent packaging, time temperature indicator, food quality Food is packaged for storage, preservation, and protection traditionally for a long time. These three are the basis functions of food packaging that are still required today for better maintenance of quality and handling of foods (Galić et al., 2011). A modern quality and safety assurance system should prevent contamination through the monitoring, recording, and controlling of critical parameters during a product's entire life cycle, which includes the post processing phase and extends over the time of use by the fi nal consumer . An important indicator for monitoring the quality of packaged food is temperature. Time/ temperature indicators or integrators (TTIs) are used as cost-eff ective and user-friendly devices to monitor, record, and translate the overall eff ect of temperature history on food quality in the chill chain down to a product unit level (Taoukis, 2001;Taoukis, Labuza, 2003;Giannakourou et al., 2005). Depending on the working principle, TTI systems are classifi ed as chemical, physicochemical, or biological systems, with their integrated time-/ temperature-dependent change being manifested as an irreversible visible color development, a movement toward a color change, or a mechanical change in consistency. The indicators can give information about the product quality directly, the package and its headspace gases and the storage conditions of the package (Gestrelius et al

“…Umożliwia to automatyzację procesu naklejania i aktywacji. Jednostkowy koszt etykiety CheckPoint ® III szacowany jest na 0,10 USD (ok. 0,32 PLN) [Ellouze 2010]. Uwzględniając korzyści wynikające z ekonomii skali produkcji, zastosowanie wskaźników TTI wydaje się uzasadnione.…”

“…Zmiana barwy w biologicznym TTI, podobnie jak w wielu innych rodzajach wskaźników opakowań inteligentnych, wywoływana jest przez barwną reakcję indykatora pH na obniżenie kwasowości roztworu we wskaźniku. Spadek ten jest skutkiem namnażania się celowo zaszczepionych (wewnątrz wskaź-nika) kultur bakterii z rodziny Lactobacillus [Ellouze 2010]. Wraz z ilościowym zwiększeniem się populacji bakterii rodziny Lactobacillus i intensyfikacją ich procesów życiowych zwiększa się również stężenia głównego metabolitu beztlenowej glikolizy (fermentacji mlekowej), tj.…”

“…Time-temperature indicators can be used in monitoring temperature variation in dates supply chain. Several new time-temperature devices have recently been described in literatures based on various principles, for instance, the growth of metabolic activity of Lactobacillus sakei (Vaikousi et al 2008), the reaction between amylase and starch solution (Yan et al 2008) the development of microorganisms (Ellouze and Augustin 2010) and the incorporation of anthocyanin into chitosan matrix (Maciel et al 2012).…”
