REDUCING GHG EMISSIONS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY THROUGH ALTERNATIVE THERMAL SYSTEMS BASED ON INDUCTION TECHNOLOGY (INDUFOOD)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Background Industrial processing of seafood requires a large amount of energy. Due to the type of product and the necessity to keep it fresh for consumption at a later date, there is a high energy demand for thermal processes such as freezing, cooking and sterilisation. This contributes significantly to the cost of the final product and to the carbon foot ...

Development of a Rapid Test Kit and supporting Reference Standards Capable of Detecting the Emerging Fish toxin Ciguatoxin in European and Global Waters (CIGUATOOLS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2015,

This proposal, CiguaTools has been developed to deal with a serious emerging problem thought by many to be caused by climate change. Put in basic terms, strains of harmful marine algae which produce deadly toxins and were only associated with tropical climates are emerging in European waters. Due to the complexity of the food chain these toxins accumulate in fish. While the fish themselves show no ...

Countering diet-related diseases through competitive regional food- and physical activity clusters (AFRESH)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"The European Commission has identified poor diets and low physical activity levels as health challenges wich should be adressed by actions across policy areas and engaging a range of public and private actors. Research points to a necessary link between nutrition and physical activity, but regional health economies need better collaboration between triple-helix actors to tap this potential.This p ...

Bio-engineered micro Encapsulation of Active agents Delivered to Shellfish (BEADS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"The project aims to continue with some exciting work following up a development in delivering active agents to bivalve molluscs through micro-encapsulation. The early work showed that bacteria with a potential in vitro to break down some algal toxins could be effectively delivered to the gut of the bivalve. The size and nature of the micro-capsule (bead) was shown to be key. The SMEs and Other in ...

Fish Population Structure and Traceability (FishPopTrace)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2011,

Although exploited fishes have traditionally been managed on a geographic basis, for conservation purposes they should be managed at the population level: the extent and dynamics of population structuring underlies resilience and sustainability. More effective enforcement and conservation demands a focus on identification and monitoring of wild fish populations and traceability of products. FishPo ...
