products.The information provided by the electronic nose isreceived by a smartphone,and then you can know whether tie food is fresh and safe to eat.The researchers made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes ()onto a special type of paper.The materialsare eco-friendly and harmless,so.they don't damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging.Thesensors,combined with a liny electronic system,then inform nearby mobile devices,which identify and understandthe data about spoilage gases.Lead author Dr Firat Cuder,of Imperial's Department of Bioengineering,said,"Although they're designed to keepus safe,use-by dales can lead to eatable food being thrown away.They don't always reflect its actual freshness.Infact,people often get sick from foodborne diseases due to poor
