Time‐Temperature Indicators on Food Products

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2025.
Abstract Time‐temperature indicators (TTIs) are devices that measure the cumulative thermal exposure of food products and display it through a visible signal, such as a color change. TTIs may be based on chemical, enzymatic or microbiological principles. Their potential lies in providing dynamic, package‐specific information on remaining shelf life, in
