Enchacing meat safety.

Research

The SYMBIOSIS-EU(*) is a collaborative project between 14 European and international partners, with the aim to develop an innovative toolbox of novel methodologies for the reliable and inexpensive evaluation of meat freshness, spoilage and safety. The project involves the application of emerging molecular methods by means of high-throughput genomic and metabolic profiling for the detection of quality and safety parameters associated with spoilage and pathogenic bacteria.

Imaging snapshots

Visual properties are often very informative quality indicators of the meat quality. Image analysis may represent a very rapid and convenient tool to monitor meat quality and to cluster meat muscles according to their freshness with a specific focus on Myoglobin and its oxidation products like metmyoglobin.
