Laboratory study & technichal feasibility analysis of Bump Mark food expiry label

实时显示食品变质的智能包装并不是一个新想法。自上世纪90年代以来，人们一直在谈论它，认为它是提高食品安全和减少食物浪费的有效途径。在这个领域已经有了一些发展，但没有一个成功地在市场上推出。为什么?它们使用复杂的材料，这使得它们非常昂贵。我们正在开发一种名为Bump Mark的产品，这是第一个生物精确的食品变质指示器，它是由食品工业的废物副产品制成的，比以前的技术成本要低得多。这个项目是为了实现全面的技术验证，以确保技术足够准确，可以投入市场，这样英国公民和经济就可以开始从更准确的食品信息中受益。

Smart packaging which shows a real-time indication of food spoilage is not a new idea. It has been talked about since the 90s as an effective way of improving food safety and reducing food waste. There have been a number of developments in this area but none of them have successfully launched in the market. Why? They use complex materials making them far too expensive. We are developing a product called Bump Mark, the first biologically-accurate food spoilage indicator made out of waste by-products in the food industry, making it a fraction of the cost of previous technologies. This project is to achive full technical validation to ensure that the technology is accurate enough to be launched onto the market so that UK citizens and the economy can begin benefiting from more accurate information about our food.
