A graduate student at Southern Methodist University (SMU) has developed a miniature pH sensor that reveals when food has spoiled in real time.

Zebra Technologies Corporation has announced its new line of environmental sensors, including the new ZS300 sensor, ZB200 Bridge, and Android Sensor Discovery app.  

Researchers have introduced a novel, thermal biosensor for real-time detection of Escherichia coli, demonstrating its ability to detect the pathogen in milk without sample preparation. The sensor would be easy to mass produce, and shows potential as a low-cost, rapid tool for onsite microbial indication.

Researchers at Concordia University have developed an easy-to-use biosensor that indicates when meat has spoiled by detecting the toxin putrescine.

Researchers have developed a novel, food-grade, edible sensor that can alert consumers to frozen products that have previously been thawed and refrozen.

The food and beverage industry is undergoing a digital transformation. From large corporations to smaller, more flexible brands, companies are using digital technologies to collect more data regarding their workflow processes and to ensure safety and quality in food processing, packaging, and distribution.
