Increasing the needs for eco-friendly natural materials, much attention on natural dyes has been attracted. Curcumin, one of abundant natural dyes available in nature, is an eco-friendly molecule found in turmeric. In this study, the colorimetric sensing behavior characteristics of ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases was analyzed using curcumin ink-printed paper and cotton fabric by inkjet printing method. The fabricated paper and fabric were utilized as a colorimetric sensor that can track food spoilage. The color changes of the samples printed on the paper and cotton upon exposure to the toxic gases, the reversibility of the color changes, and the water resistance were investigated. Both samples showed reversible reactions with NH3 and HCl, and small amount of ammonia produced by food spoilage was successfully sensed with naked eyes, confirming its capability to warn food spoilage in our daily life.
