Symbiosis-EU project
Enchacing meat safety.

Objectives

The goal of this project is to develop an innovative toolbox of novel methodologies for the reliable and inexpensive evaluation of muscle food freshness, spoilage and safety. Thus, the major expected achievements of the project are:





For the benefit of industry:

  • - Development of protocols for the simple, effective and inexpensive evaluation of the meat quality and safety sector.
  • - Application of emerging molecular methods by means of high-throughput genomic profiling such as microarrays. for the detection of quality and safety parameters associated with emerging spoilage and pathogenic bacteria.
  • - Development of advanced 'diagnostic' methods based on intelligent and statistical schemes to identify robust Multiple Compound Quality Indices (MCQI).
  • - Development of mathematical models to predict shelf life as well as formation of spoilage compounds or other hazards (e.g., biogenic amines, etc).
