Abstract
Printed oxygen indicators for food packages There is a distinct need for specific means giving information on the actual product quality in food packages. Intelligent packaging systems attached as labels, incorporated into a packaging material, or printed onto a food packaging material have been presented to offer enhanced possibilities to monitor the product quality throughout the supply chain. As many products today are packed in oxygen-free atmosphere, oxygen sensitive sensors attached inside the package can be used to show whether the package has been damaged or opened/tampered. VTT has developed a number of low-cost indicator technologies for food and medical industries. The new developments on printable indicators will be presented with emphasis on the ink formulation, the printing techniques, and the indicator performance.
