Longer shelf life frozen products with smart labels – TTIs

29 October 2015

Application of an optimized cold chain management system for frozen products can be assisted by monitoring with Time Temperature Integrators (TTI). TTIs are smart labels that cumulatively show the product history in an easily measurable, time-temperature dependent change. In the IQ-Freshlabel European project enzymatic and photochromic TTIs were developed and tested for frozen products.
In an article researchers at the National Technical University of Athens in Greece describe a general methodology for frozen food shelf life testing and modelling, and the selection of appropriate TTIs for specific foods. The article is published in the International Journal of Food Studies.
