Food labelling is a means of communication between food business operators and consumers, representing an important factor in consumer purchasing decisions. The enforcement of the new food labelling policy is aimed to improve food safety and public health through the mandatory indication of information and nutritional values. To understand the usefulness of the information provided for consumers,...
Long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) were over coated with iron (Fe) and subjected to oxidation in air and in solutions of water containing different sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations. The formation of iron oxides and hydroxides was monitored in real time by following the features of the gratings attenuation band. Preliminary results show that Fe coated LPFGs can be used as sensors for early warning...
The detection of dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO2) is made possible through a colorimetric effect that occurs in a sensitive membrane. The reaction with dCO2 changes the pH of the membrane causing a small difference in its colour which results in a characteristic absorbance spectrum band near 435 nm. A sensing platform based on this effect was developed and tested in gaseous and in aqueous environments...
Long period fibre gratings (LPFG) have found an increasing interest due to the easy fabrication in any kind of fibre through the induced electric arc technique with low cost and flexibility. They have been used in applications such as gain-flattening and band-rejection, and for sensing strain, temperature and chemical and biological parameters. The sensitivity of LPFG increases when the fibre is coated...
