Kurzfassung
A Turkish company active in food packing market is introducing a packing technology which includes a specifically developed freshness indicator for seafood industry. The offered technology uses one of the most reliable freshness indicators and easily applicable to conventional packings. The company is looking for international partners for technical cooperation and manufacturing agreements.
Details
Freshness indicators are a kind of markers which give information about the freshness of the packed product –mainly food products. pH sensitive indicators, volatile-nitrogen-sensitive indicators, hydrogen sulphite sensitive indicators and bio-organic metabolite sensitive indicators are examples of such markers. These markers are of great importance, since mentioned compounds cause serious food poisoning cases in human metabolism.
One of the leading Turkish SMEs in packaging and printing market is willing to introduce their novel packing technology which indicates the freshness of the (food) product inside the packing with specifically developed freshness indicator.
The used indicator realizes the values of metabolite, gas and slickness level of the seafood -which are dependent to D-lactate levels- and changes its colour on the packing. The label has sensitivity on ethanol, bionic amine, CO2, ATP fraction products and sulphite compounds caused by the spoilage of the seafood product.
Organic acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid are synthesized as a result of the fermentation of glucose by lactic acid bacteria. According to the scientific experiments, it has been found that L-lactic acid concentration is decreasing while D-lactate and acetate concentration is rising during the storage/conservation of seafood and meat products and D-lactate and acetate can be used as an indicator for a freshness marker in (sea)food industry.
The developed indicator is based on measurement of D-lactate levels.
The company is looking for partners for manufacturing agreements as well as technical cooperation.
Innovative Aspects:
In literature, there are indicators based on ethanol increase detection, volatile nitrogene compounds (TVB-N) ammonia, dimethylamine and trimethylamine but the offer in question includes a special indicator based on measurement of D-lactate levels, which is one of the best reliable indicators of freshness of seafood products. It can easily be attached to conventional packings.

Kooperationstyp | - Adaptation to specific needs - Change in the currently used technologies - Absolutely novel process Type of partner sought: Industry Specific area of activity of the partner: Seafood industry, packaging firms (for seafood industry). Task to be performed by the partner sought: Technical Cooperation: The profile owner will adapt the technology according to the needs of possible partner. The freshness levels can vary in different species so tests must be done by the profile owner to modify the indicator. Manufacturing Agreement: The most suitable labels will be manufactured in profile owner’s facilities after the tests. The labels are easily applicable to current packings. |
