Abstract

Currently, instead of focusing on testing and confirmation of final products, more attention has been paid to the monitoring and controlling of important parameters throughout the food product processing period. Temperature fluctuation could be caused shortage of shelf-life in perishable products, which consequently incongruity occurred between the shown final Time of consumption label and food quality conditions. There is a good relationship between physical, chemical and microbiological properties of food and color changes in Time and temperature indicator (TTI). Time and Temperature Indicator is simple, cheap and consumers can use it easily for monitoring, recording and explanation quality information for consumers and moreover time and temperature indicator also specifying the remaining shelf life of perishable food products.
