Revolutionizing Shrimp Packaging with Smart Technology

At FreshTrack Tech, we’re on a mission to transform the seafood industry by developing cutting-edge solutions that address the critical concerns of freshness, shelf life, and product quality. Our focus is on shrimp packaging, where we’re bringing a new level of innovation through smart packaging technology.

We’ve designed colorimetric sensing films specifically for monitoring shrimp freshness. These films, made with biocompatible Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and dyes sourced from Arnebia euchroma, offer remarkable capabilities. They don’t just change color—they produce a vibrant spectrum of colors that directly indicate the freshness and potential spoilage of the shrimp inside the package. This color change isn’t just visually striking; it provides an immediate, intuitive way for consumers to assess product quality.

But that’s not all. The antimicrobial and antioxidant properties derived from Arnebia euchroma are key components in preserving the quality of the shrimp, ensuring that it remains fresh for longer. By integrating these properties into our films, we’re not only enhancing the shelf life of the product but also adding an extra layer of protection against spoilage.

Our Freshness-Indicating Films (FFIs) are at the heart of our approach. These smart packaging systems convey food freshness or spoilage status to consumers through distinctive color changes. The principle behind FFIs is simple yet powerful: as microorganisms in the shrimp trigger irreversible changes, the films dynamically respond, offering both accurate assessments and clear visual cues. This transparency empowers consumers, giving them confidence in the quality of their seafood products.

At FreshTrack Tech, we’re not just developing packaging—we’re pioneering a new era in seafood quality control. By seamlessly integrating our colorimetric sensing films into shrimp packaging, we’re enabling seafood producers and consumers alike to make informed decisions about product quality. We believe this is the future of seafood packaging, and we’re excited to lead the way.
