The project team also includes Dr. Franz Steppeler, Weronika Zaj\u0105c, Dr. \u0141ukasz Duda, and Maria Zdo\u0144czyk.  <\/p><p>The project, titled <em>Dyes in Innovative Sensory Labels for Monitoring Storage Conditions<\/em> (SensiMat), received funding of one million PLN under the Science for Society II program, enabling the continuation of research previously conducted within the AdMat Group. The solution proposed by Dr. Potaniec is designed to be simple and cost-effective, making broad application a real possibility.  <\/p><p><a>\u2013<\/a> Between 10% and 20% of food is discarded due to expired best-before dates \u2013 says Dr. Potaniec. \u2013 We hope our labels will help reduce such waste. Stickers, tags, or printed labels will provide information about storage conditions \u2013 temperature, humidity, and time, allowing consumers to better assess whether a product is still safe to use. \u2013 The labels incorporate thermochromic dyes, whose safety for human use has been confirmed.     <\/p><p>Discussions are also underway with pharmaceutical companies interested in adopting the technology. Proper storage of medications, such as insulin or vaccines, is critical for patient health, particularly since the supply chain is often long and exposed to varying conditions. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improving the safety of medicine storage and ensuring proper conditions for food warehousing are just some of the benefits of using sensory labels, a technology currently being developed by researchers led by Dr. Bart\u0142omiej Potaniec from the Advanced Materials Synthesis Group from \u0141ukasiewicz \u2013 PORT (AdMat Group \u2013 team Leader: Dr. hab.
