Abstract

The work aims to fabricate a pectin/gum arabic-based intelligent packaging indicator film with ferrous glycinate as an indicator for the visual monitoring of surimi freshness and to investigate its practical application efficacy. The optimal concentration of ferrous glycinate was determined via single-factor experiments. The indicator performance of the film was evaluated through hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) fumigation, colorimetric analysis, and H₂S sensitivity analysis. Its application in detecting surimi freshness was subsequently assessed. Films were prepared using a blend of low methoxy pectin (LMP) and high methoxy pectin (HMP) at a ratio of 1:3, with a ferrous glycinate concentration of 0.2 mol/L. Colorimetric analysis and H₂S sensitivity testing revealed that the film color changed significantly with increasing ferrous glycinate concentration (P<0.05). Furthermore, under fumigation with H₂S at equivalent ferrous glycinate concentrations, higher H₂S concentrations induced more pronounced color changes in the film (P<0.05). In conclusion, the sulfide indicator film, constructed with ferrous glycinate as the indicator and pectin/gum arabic as the matrix, can provide a real-time response to environmental H₂S concentrations during surimi storage, thereby effectively indicating changes in surimi freshness throughout the storage period.
