Food waste is one of the main issues for international organisms. It is not only an ethical and economic issue but it also depletes the environment of limited natural resources. Among strategies suitable for fighting such challenge, intelligent packaging is an interesting tool to reduce waste derived from households and retailers. Colorimetric detection of biogenic amines, well-known criterions of food corruption, shows the main role for monitoring of food safety. A novel colorimetric sensor based on hydrolysis-induced mercury metallization reaction to tune the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) adsorption of Au nanoparticles sensitive to total volatile basic nitrogen (TVBN) released from meat has been created for real-time supervision of meat quality. Sensors were kept in atmosphere of ammonia simulating which changed its colour with changing of pH. This is the case of highly volatile amines, produced in food spoilage, specifically in the deterioration of meat, for which the color development of the smart labels can be used as a visual test for food freshness.

A kind of ferrocene mediated enzymatic biosensor was fabricated in order to the measurement of glucose as an important biological analyte. A homogenous mixture of ferrocene including Chitosan(CS), Nafion(Nf) and an imidazolium based ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazoliumhexafluorophosphate, [BMIM]HF6PO4, was prepared. The mentioned mixture was cast on the surface of carbon ceramic electrode and an enzymatic layer was entrapped between two layers of this mixture in order to improving the mechanical stability of the biosensor. Cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were used to investigate the analytical performance of the biosensor. Remarkable deduction of interfering signals produced by AA and UA was obtained by applying a constant potential (180mV) on the human plasma for a short period of time (100min). Values of practical parameters such as sensitivity (2.73 µA mM-1cm-2), linear range (95.23–1367.5 µM) and detection limit (48 µM) were obtained by the chronoamperometric studies. The apparent Michaels-Menten constant, Km (3.52 mM) was also calculated. In order to estimate the practical accuracy and precision of the enzymatic biosensor, a test of spiked glucose solution recovery in natural plasma was done.
