Two diferent types of chemical indicator used to monitor food spoilage due to thermal abuse were evaluated using an I.C.S. colour measurement system. One indicator exhibited an abrupt colour change after about 340 min room temperature, whereas the other exhibited a slower colour change at about the same time. The two diferent behaviors lend themselves to dierent applications. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
