Innovative Packaging for the Detection of Fresh Meat Quality and Prediction of Shelf-Life (TOXDTECT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In the last 10 years, EU beef production has declined nearly 15% due to decreased consumer demand because of animal disease issues. As the concern about food poisoning is growing among consumers and Food Standard and safety agencies, the food industry is called to bring in changes. On the other hand, current consume by and best before dates are confusing for consumers. A recent survey indicates th ...

Non-Invasive high power ultrasound (HPU) processing method for meat tenderization (ULTRATENDER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Meat tenderness has long being recognized as the most important attribute of meat, greatly influencing consumer acceptability. After meat slaughtering, shortening of the muscle protein fibers causes the meat to become tough (“rigor mortis”). For meat to become enough tender to be sold to the final consumer, it has to be under chilling storage for a period ,between 7-90 days, resulting in high meat ...

Development of a new functional antimicrobial edible film for fresh meat products (Meatcoat)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

The main scope of the MEATCOAT is the development of a new functional antimicrobial edible coating for meat packaging to improve the integrity of products during distribution and commercialisation. The proposed system will increase shelf-life of the product due to their antimicrobial characteristics. The present proposal aims help end-user communities of SMEs: the fresh food industry (and particul ...

New Active Recyclable Packaging with Natural Antioxidising for the extension of the fresh food shelf live (FreshFilm)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

FRESHFILM will create a highly-functional film food packaging, that will strongly serve two main end-user communities: Food Processing Industry & Plastic Packaging Industry (meat processing vs. fresh food processing). These are mature sectors which create annual revenues in Europe in €147 billion and €12 billion respectively and require continues innovation to differentiate in a strong-competition ...
