Project Title: PNRR-PE00000003 ONFOODS - ON Foods - Research and innovation network on food and nutrition Sustainability, Safety and Security - Working ON Foods.
Project Duration: 10/22 - On progress
Project Description: The research projects under Spoke 04 aim to improve the quality of food and nutrition to meet the needs and expectations of modern consumers. This includes reformulating food, using innovative and sustainable technologies, and designing new foods while considering emerging interindividual features that drive personalized nutrition.
Biosensors and chemical indicators, due to their high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and stability, are emerging as promising tools and have the potential to monitor and control the quality and properties of novel foods and ensure the safety of novel food development. The main focus is the implementation of sensors for food quality and nutrition assessment. Specifically, the planned activities are sensor fabrication, development of readout electronics and characterization from a controlled laboratory environment to actual use, and development of a correlation model to extend the use of this technology in food engineering.
