Abstract
Aim:
The aim was to develop an indicator sensor for real-time
monitoring of meat quality and to compare the response of
indicator sensor with meat quality parameters at ambient
temperature.
Materials and Methods: Indicator sensor was prepared using
bromophenol blue (1% w/v) as indicator solution and filter paper
as indicator carrier. Indicator sensor was fabricated by coating
indicator solution onto carrier by centrifugation. To observe the
response of indicator sensor buffalo meat was packed in
polystyrene foam trays covered with PVC film and indicator sensor
was attached to the inner side of packaging film. The pattern of
color change in indicator sensor was monitored and compared with
meat quality parameters viz. total volatile basic nitrogen,
D-glucose, standard plate count and tyrosine value to correlate
ability of indicator sensor for its suitability to predict the
meat quality and storage life.
Results: The indicator sensor changed its color from yellow to
blue starting from margins during the storage period of 24 h at
ambient temperature and this correlated well with changes in meat
quality parameters.
Conclusions: The indicator sensor can be
used for real-time monitoring of meat quality as the color of
indicator sensor changed from yellow to blue starting from margins
when meat deteriorates with advancement of the storage period.
Thus by observing the color of indicator sensor quality of meat
and shelf life can be predicted.
Keywords: buffalo meat, indicator sensor,
meat quality, total volatile basic nitrogen.
