Objective
The overall objective of the SAFEFOOD project is to develop new technological tools to strengthen food safety programmes in agri-food companies, which will consequently result in greater protection of consumer health.
To achieve the overall objective of the project, the following specific objectives are proposed:
- Strengthen on-line food safety control through research into optoelectronic systems based on hyperspectral vision technology for the microbiological characterisation of products during processing.
- Strengthen off-line food safety control through research into diagnostic systems based on biosensor technology for the detection of microbiological risks in food.
- Validate the research results with companies in the Valencian Community through the development of two application prototypes in the meat and fruit and vegetable sectors.
- Disseminate the knowledge generated and the high potential of the key enabling technologies (KET) investigated, both to companies and citizens in the Valencian Community.
- Promote the implementation of the key enabling technologies investigated in the agri-food sector of the Valencian Community through the transfer of results to business reality.
