Today, the utilization of smart indicators in food packaging to monitor and detect food quality through analyzing quality data and color changes in packaging films based on the food's condition is on the rise. In this comparative study, halochromic films made of gelatin and k-carrageenan with mirabilis jalapa extract (6, 12, and 24%) and barberry extract (6, 12, and 24%) were developed and examined. Through SEM images and FTIR spectroscopy, it was observed that both types of films incorporating barberry and mirabilis jalapa extracts were uniformly dispersed in the gelatin and k-carrageenan polymer matrix, displaying notable molecular interactions like hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces. However, films containing mirabilis jalapa extract exhibited more irregular and rough surfaces compared to those with barberry extract. Both types of films displayed good antioxidant properties and responsiveness to changes in pH and ammonia levels. Films with barberry extract demonstrated higher antioxidant activity and greater sensitivity to pH variations. The gelatin and k-carrageenan films with barberry and mirabilis jalapa extracts effectively indicated the freshness of lamb meat stored at 25°C by correlating with the presence of ammonia gases in the storage packages and pH fluctuations. Our results highlight that the structural, physical, and functional attributes of gelatin and k-carrageenan films incorporating pH-responsive extracts are significantly influenced by the extract type and concentration.
