Abstract
Tracking pH fluctuations in food samples is important for ensuring food freshness. Fluorescent probes have been widely applied as promising tools for the on-site detection of pH changes; however, most of them can be applied only at either lower or higher pH ranges because their response structures commonly have a single acid dissociation constant (pKa). To address this problem, we designed a fluorescent sensor, called HMB, containing a methylpiperazine group with two pKa values, which exhibited a unique dual-color response to pH changes over a wide pH range. Furthermore, the HMB-based test strips are easily prepared and used as portable labels for the visual monitoring of food spoilage that results in microbial and anaerobic glycolytic pathways in real food (such as cheese and shrimp). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fluorescent pH sensor with two pKa values, and we expect that this work will inspire more sensor designs for food quality control.

Abstract
Maintaining the freshness of food is essential for a healthy and quality life. Nevertheless, it remains a global challenge. Hence, an easy detection and monitoring protocol would be highly desirable. A cyanoacrylic acid (CAA)-based fluorophore is manifested as a reusable platform that responds diversely against different concentrations of selective aliphatic biogenic amines (BAs) in both solution and vapor phases. Slow spoilage of the protein-rich food is progressively monitored through emission shifts visible to the naked eye. This fluorophore provides easy and naked-eye detection of the BA vapor through a change in emission, i.e., red → orange → orange-yellow → cyan → green and quantum yield enhancement, which occur in stepwise increments of vapor concentrations. The probe design includes π-conjugated functionalized fluorescent molecules linked to multiple twisting sites, resulting in both solid and solution-state emission. The attached carboxylic acid responds quickly with selective BAs, mainly putrescine (PUT), cadaverine (CAD), and spermidine (SPM), where the concentration-based emission variation has appeared to be distinct and prominent against PUT [sensitivity (μM): 2 (solution); 3.3 (vapour)]. The selectivity towards diamine can be clarified by the formation of carboxylic acid salts and the consequent proton exchanges between free and protonated amines. In addition, -CN···H interaction is likely to develop within this ammonium carboxylate system, providing extra stability. Such ammonium carboxylate salt formation and gradual change in the molecular arrangement, resulting in symmetry development, are validated by FT-IR and wide-angle X-ray diffraction studies. Besides, this fact is supported by DFT studies that validate intramolecular H-atom exchange between free amine and ammonium salt units. A fluorophore-coated coverslip, filter paper, or silica gel-coated Al-plate is fruitfully utilized to detect the freshness of fish and chicken, which reveals the potential of this probe to prevent food waste and control food safety.

Abstract
The limitation of conventional packaging in demonstrating accurate and real-time food expiration dates leads to food waste and foodborne diseases. Real-time food quality monitoring via intelligent packaging could be an effective solution to reduce food waste and foodborne illnesses. This review focuses on recent technological advances incorporated into food packaging for monitoring food spoilage, with a major focus on paper-based sensors and their combination with smartphone. This review paper offers a comprehensive exploration of advanced macromolecular technologies in biodegradable packaging, a general overview of paper-based probes and their incorporation into food packaging coupled with intelligent sensing mechanisms for monitoring food freshness. Given the escalating global concerns surrounding food waste, our manuscript serves as a pivotal resource, consolidating current research findings and highlighting the transformative potential of these innovative packaging solutions. We also highlight the current intelligent paper-based food freshness sensors and their various advantages and limitations. Examples of implementation of paper-based sensors/probes for food storage and their accuracy are presented. Finally, we examined how intelligent packaging can be an alternative to reduce food waste. Several technologies discussed here have good potential to be used in food packaging for real-time food monitoring, especially when combined with smartphone diagnosis.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs), as important indicators for evaluating food spoilage caused by fermentation processes or microbial activities, present significant risks of food safety. Consequently, the development of a simple, sensitive, and selective detection method for amines is of great importance. In this study, we proposed a three-in-one sensor 3,6-bis(dimethylamino)-9-(ethylthio)xanthylium (PSE) for high sensitivity and selectivity detecting BAs with multimodal responses, including olfactory, colorimetric, and fluorescent signals, thus facilitating convenient real-time detection of BAs. Mechanism study indicated that the nucleophilic substitution of PSE with BAs induced such rapid multi-responses with a low detection limit (LOD = 0.03 μM). We further fabricated PSE loaded paper for portable detection of BAs vapors. And the accurate determination of BAs levels is achieved through analyzing the RGB color mode. Finally, we successfully applied these test strips for non-destructive assessing meat beef freshness with the assistance of a smartphone in on-site scenarios.

Abstract
To address the serious waste of meat resources and food safety problems caused by the decrease in meat freshness due to the action of microorganisms and enzymes, a low-cost, time-saving and high-efficiency freshness monitoring method is urgently needed. Fluorescence sensing could act as a "magnifier" for meat freshness monitoring due to its ability to sense characteristic signal produced by meat spoilage. Here, the magnification mechanism of meat freshness via sensing the water activity, adenosine triphosphate, hydrogen ion, total volatile basic nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, bioamines was comprehensively analyzed. The existing "magnifier" forms including paper chips, films, labels, arrays, probes, and hydrogels as well as the application in livestock, poultry and aquatic meat freshness monitoring were reviewed. Future research directions involving innovation of principles, visualization and quantification capabilities for various meats freshness were provided. By critically evaluating the potential and limitations, efficient and reliable meat freshness monitoring strategies wish to be developed for the post-epidemic era.

Abstract
The freshness of fish and shrimp is closely associated with food safety, hence it is a wide concern to develop a facile and effective method for fast, non-destructive and visual screening the freshness of fish and shrimp. Herein, we developed a chromogenic and fluorogenic sensor (RFCC) based on resorufin for sensing of biogenic amines including cadaverine and putrescine. RFCC underwent aminolysis with cadaverine or putrescine, displaying a remarkable fluorescence turn on response at 593 nm along with obvious color change from colorless to pink. RFCC was fabricated into test strips to sense cadaverine vapor, and the RGB value of test strips showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of cadaverine (0.5 - 8.2 × 103 ppm). The RFCC tag was used to in situ screen the freshness of fish and shrimp according to obvious fluorescence change, and satisfactory results were achieved. Furthermore, this test strip was validated by total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), providing a simple, low cost and portable tool to screen the freshness of fish and shrimp for consumers and suppliers without expensive instrumentation.

Abstract
With the food safety issues abounding, exploring reliable and efficient methods for evaluating food safety is crucial. Herein, a ratiometric test strip was proposed by using green-yellow fluorescent d-penicillamine capped silver nanocluster (DPA-AgNCs) as indicator and red-emitting bimetallic gold/silver nanoclusters (AuAgNCs) as an internal reference, providing a real-time and visual monitoring system for food freshness. Results showed that the as-prepared DPA-AgNCs displayed an excellent response and good sensitivity for volatile basic nitrogens (VBNs), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.51 μM and 0.08 ppm for spermidine and ammonia hydroxide, respectively. Subsequently, a ratiometric test strip was developed to visually monitor ammonia vapour, displaying an obvious fluorescence colour variation from mustard to deep-red. Moreover, the presented ratiometric test strip was successfully applied for non-contact and visual evaluating and monitoring VBNs in the shrimp sample, showing high potential for in-situ monitoring.

Abstract
Spoiled meat poses a great challenge to food security and human health, which should be addressed by the early monitoring and warning of the meat freshness. We herein exploited a molecular engineering strategy to construct a set of fluorescence probes (PTPY, PTAC, and PTCN) with phenothiazine as fluorophore and cyanovinyl as recognition site for the facile and efficient monitoring of meat freshness. These probes produce an obvious fluorescence color transition from dark red to bright cyan in response to cadaverine (Cad) through the nucleophilic addition/elimination reaction. The sensing performances were elaborately improved to achieve quick response (16 s), low detection limit (LOD = 3.9 nM), and high contrast fluorescence color change by enhancing the electron-withdrawing strength of cyanovinyl moiety. Furthermore, PTCN test strips were fabricated for portable and naked-eye detection of Cad vapor with fluorescence color change from crimson to cyan, and accurate determination of Cad vapor level with RGB color (red, green, blue) mode analysis. The test strips were employed to detect the freshness of real beef samples, and demonstrated a good capability of non-destructive, non-contact and visual screening meat freshness on site.

Abstract
Hydrazine is an essential chemical in industries, but its high toxicity poses great threats to human health and environmental safety. Hence, it is of great significance to monitor the hydrazine in environment. In this work, we presented a chromogenic and fluorogenic dual-mode sensor RA for the detection of hydrazine based on nucleophilic substitution reaction. A linear relationship was obtained between the fluorescence intensity and the concentrations of N2H4 ranging from 0 to 35 μM (R2 = 0.9936). The sensor can determine hydrazine with fast response (within 12 min), low limit of detection (0.129 μM) and high selectivity. RA was successfully used to detect N2H4 in real water samples with good recoveries and the results corresponded to the standard method. Furthermore, the sensor-coated portable test papers were fabricated, which can visually quantify hydrazine solutions with obvious fluorescence transformation from colorless to red. Moreover, RA-loaded papers were used to create a smartphone-adaptable RGB values analytical method for quantitative N2H4 detection.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are a family of nitrogen-bearing natural organic molecules with at least one primary amine, which play an important role in living organisms. Elevated concentration of BAs may cause neuron disorder, Parkinson's disease and many other diseases. Therefore, it is essential to monitor BAs in living organisms. Herein, we reported a resorufin-based fluorescence probe for sensing of various BAs. Upon nucleophilic substitution reaction with BAs, the probe released resorufin, affording to strong fluorescence emission at 592 nm with rapid response (<8 min), good selectivity and a low detection limit (LOD = 0.47 μM). The probe has low cytotoxicity and good membrane permeability, and has been successfully used to visualize BAs in living cells and zebrafish with good performance.

Abstract
The increasing demand for food production has necessitated the development of sensitive and reliable methods of analysis, which allow for the optimization of storage and distribution while ensuring food safety. Methods to quantify and monitor volatile and biogenic amines are key to minimizing the waste of high-protein foods and to enable the safe consumption of fresh products. Novel materials and device designs have allowed the development of portable and reliable sensors that make use of different transduction methods for amine detection and food quality monitoring. Herein, we review the past decade's advances in volatile amine sensors for food quality monitoring. First, the role of volatile and biogenic amines as a food-quality index is presented. Moreover, a comprehensive overview of the distinct amine gas sensors is provided according to the transduction method, operation strategies, and distinct materials (e.g., metal oxide semiconductors, conjugated polymers, carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, transition metal dichalcogenides, metal organic frameworks, MXenes, quantum dots, and dyes, among others) employed in each case. These include chemoresistive, fluorometric, colorimetric, and microgravimetric sensors. Emphasis is also given to sensor arrays that record the food quality fingerprints and wireless devices that operate as radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags. Finally, challenges and future opportunities on the development of new amine sensors are presented aiming to encourage further research and technological development of reliable, integrated, and remotely accessible devices for food-quality monitoring.
