In-field wireless sensor network to predict rice blast (RICE-GUARD)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
The RICE-GUARD monitoring system is a tool designed to assist rice-growers in their rice blast management decisions. Rice blast is the most serious disease of cultivated rice. It is caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea (Pyricularia oryzae Cav.), which in favourable conditions can produce yield losses of up to 100 %. The fungus affects all the rice-growing regions of the world, including all ric ...

Novel infrared spectroscopic tools for mycotoxin determination in foodstuffs for increased food safety (MYCOSPEC)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Mycotoxins are contaminants produced by fungi that infest food crops and processed foods. Mycotoxins enter the food chain via infected crops that are either directly consumed by humans or indirectly ingested as a consequence of crops as an animal feed ingredient. These toxins have been linked to human oesophageal cancer, equine leukoencephalomalacia, and toxic feed syndrome in poultry, and pulmona ...

A process analytical technology for characterising the physical properties of crystals (CRYSTAL-VIS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"An active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is the substance in a pharmaceutical drug that has the pharmacological activity. The crystallisation process is a critical step in the API manufacturing process and for delivering “product” in its final form, with some 70 % of products going through a crystallization step at some point in their manufacture. The size and shape of the crystals are important ...

Hyperspectral imaging technology for the quality inspection of fish products (SPECTRAFISH)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The EU finfish industry should deliver high quality and safe products to the marketplace to meet the expectation of consumers. Appearance, nutrition, texture, freshness, and spoilage are the most important quality and safety attributes of fish products. Quality inspection of fish is typically carried out manually on candling tables by human visual detection, which is very labour intensive, and man ...

A novel packaging system for meat safety and shelf-life extension (MEATPACK)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Meat and poultry products are vehicles for millions of cases of foodborne illness globally each year. Controlling pathogens such as campylobacter, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Yersinia enterocolitica, is a primary goal for industry. Additionally, processors are constantly striving to lengthen product shelf life. However, consumer aversion to traditional chemica ...

New ripening room monitoring technology for improving the efficiency and sustainability of cheese ripening processes (SMART-RIPE)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The SMARTRIPE project will help SMEs from the cheese-making and equipment supply chain to exploit the results of the FP6 TRUEFOOD project, which focused on the introduction of new technologies for the elaboration of European Traditional Food Products, and covered a large range of activities, from consumer behaviour to food safety and nutritional impact. The improvement of ripening of traditional c ...
