PN609: AnthoChrome

EDLIN HANNAH BINTI EDI FEROZ SMK BANDAR SERI PUTRA

Food waste and food poisoning are critical global issues. This research introduces AnthoChrome, a 100% organic, non-toxic smart strip for real-time protein spoilage detection. Using a pH-sensitive matrix of agar and red cabbage anthocyanins, the film tracks Volatile Basic Nitrogen (VBN) gases. As meat degrades, the strip shifts from purple to green, offering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to synthetic dyes.
