OnVu time-temperature indicator (TTI) system
OnVu is a time-temperature indicator (TTI) system that monitors the freshness of perishable goods. OnVu TTIs are supplied as either printing inks or labels and can, in principle, be used for any product that is sensitive to temperature. Once activated by a suitable light source, the TTI first becomes dark and then grows progressively lighter as time passes, and if and when the ambient temperature rises. Exposure to higher temperatures than those prescribed accelerates the lightening process of the color.
