In this study, an ultra-light porous aerogel was synthesized utilizing Blueberry anthocyanin (BA) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and the freshness of shrimp was assessed through the colorimetric response of the aerogel. Through modification by Vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMO), the aerogel's surface properties were altered from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, thereby enhancing its practicality in wet environments. By adjusting the concentrations and ratios of BA and CNF, key physical characteristics such as density, porosity, and specific surface area of the aerogel can be precisely controlled. These properties influence the aerogel's capacity to adsorb gases, thereby affecting its color change reversibility, sensitivity, and stability. Among all aerogels with varying proportions of BA/CNF (1:2, 1:3 and 1:4), the one prepared with a ratio of 1:3 (BA/CNF 1:3 aerogel) exhibited a high porosity and specific surface area, demonstrating exceptional sensitivity to alkaline gases and remarkable stability under light conditions. The detection limits of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) in BA/CNF 1:3 aerogel for detecting shrimp meat spoilage were 20.02 mg/100 g at 4 °C and 29.87 mg/100 g at 25 °C respectively. This kind of composite aerogel could be used for sensitive and visual monitoring of shrimp freshness, thereby reducing food waste and offering a novel approach to intelligent development within the food packaging industry.

ABSTRACT Indicating hydrogels have shown the advantages of being fast, sensitive, and real-time in demonstrating the freshness of aquatic products due to their noticeable color change. In this work, an anti-freezing hydrogel embedded with pH-sensitive alizarin was developed as an original colorimetric indicator for monitoring the corruption of aquatic products at low temperatures. The anti-freezing hydrogel was prepared from 2-carboxyethyl acrylate, [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-trimethylammonium chloride, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linking agent. The hydrogel showed excellent anti-freezing capability, which was further incorporated with the pH-sensitive dye alizarin to gain the indicating capability. When applied in the indication of the freshness of salmon under low-temperature storage, it was found that the color changes of the indicator corresponded with the total volatile basic nitrogen contents of salmon, the correlation coefficient of which was 0.959 6. These results indicated the application potential of the hydrogels as freshness indicators during low-temperature storage or cold-chain transportation.

The identification of white tea mainly relies on sensory evaluation and mass spectrometry methods, which have drawbacks such as strong subjectivity and complex analysis. Thus, this study established a novel approach based on colorimetric indicator displacement assay (IDA) sensor to achieve rapid and accurate white tea identification. Cost-effective dyes and phenylboronic acids with different substituents were selected as the indicator and receptor, respectively. A color-signal-responsive IDA sensor array was constructed to enable the rapid and sensitive identification of white tea. Additionally, three supervised pattern recognition algorithms were utilized to process image data. The results demonstrate that combining the IDA sensor with the random forest algorithm accurately differentiates white tea samples by origin and type, achieving a 100% recognition accuracy in both training set (n = 84) and prediction set (n = 56) when ntree = 1000. This work offers an economical and efficient method for the rapid identification of white tea products.

Biological hydrogels are widely available in terms of raw material sources and can be processed and molded using relatively simple techniques. Hydrogels can offer abundant three-dimensional, water-containing channels that facilitate the reaction between gases and dye, making them the preferred choice for the solid support layer in colorimetric indicators. However, biomass hydrogels exhibit inferior mechanical properties, making them unsuitable for large-scale manufacturing processes. In this study, four dual-network composite hydrogels Agar/Gelatin, Sodium Alginate/Agar, Sodium Alginate/Poly (vinyl alcohol), Sodium Alginate/Gelatin (AG/Gel, SA/AG, SA/PVA and SA/Gel) prepared through hybrid strategies. Furthermore, the influence of the dual-network structure on the mechanical properties and ammonia response was systematically investigated, using microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterization method. The experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of SA into original hydrogel matrices can significantly enhance both the mechanical and ammonia response performance due to the secondary topological network structure. The interpenetrating double network structure was effectively regulated through the calcium ion cross-linking process. The color difference threshold of SA/PVA’s response to ammonia gas is 10, it holds promise for rapid detection applications. The SA/Gel composite hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical robustness and toughness. The tensile strength of the SA/Gel sample is 11 times that of a single gel, and the toughness is 80 times greater, suggesting its suitability for large-scale manufacturing of colorimetric indicator.

Wound healing in diabetes is a complex physiological process with risks of ulceration and amputation. Real-time monitoring and treatment of diabetic wounds is an effective prevention of further deterioration. Herein, a multifunctional dressing is developed by encapsulating europium-containing bioactive glass (EuBG) and MoO3-x in biocompatible sodium alginate (SA) dressing (MoO3-x-EuBG-SA), aiming to simultaneously monitor the wound pH value and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration, establish anti-inflammatory microenvironment, and promote wound healing. pH-responsive fluorescence quenching effect of the EuBG contributes to visible pH values monitoring, and MoO3-x enables high responsiveness and accurate colorimetric indication of H2O2 variability to understand the dynamic wound status. Then, these fluorescent and colorimetric photographs can be captured by smartphones and transformed into signals for wound pH value and H2O2 concentration, enabling rapid and convenient real-time assessment of wound dynamic conditions. Furthermore, MoO3-x-EuBG-SA dressing can reduce inflammation and promote the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of fibroblasts and endothelial cells in vitro with the help of the released bioactive Si, Ca, and Mo ions. Notably, the MoO3-x-EuBG-SA dressing exhibits excellent abilities of monitoring wound microenvironment, immune regulation, and promoting diabetic wound healing in vivo. Overall, the multifunctional dressing has great potential for managing diabetic wounds and promoting wound healing.
