Integrated Approaches to Food Allergen and Allergy Risk Management (IFAAM)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

Up to 20 million European citizens suffer from food allergy. However management of both food allergy (by patients and health practitioners) and allergens (by industry) is thwarted by lack of evidence to either prevent food allergy developing or protect adequately those who are already allergic. iFAAM will develop evidence-based approaches and tools for MANAGEMENT of ALLERGENS in FOOD and integrate ...

Natural Compounds to enhance Productivity, Quality and Health in Intensive Farming Systems (THRIVE-RITE)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Pig and poultry farming are amongst the most important agricultural activities in the EU, and significant performance gains were previously achieved through the use of in-feed antibiotics. The THRIVE-RITE project aims to provide a strong competitive advantage in these sectors by maximising the performance using natural feed additives as alternatives to the use of in-feed growth promoting antibiot ...

Development of a Novel Treatment for Clostridium Difficile (DNTCD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"We wish to exploit the need for effective treatment for nosocomial diarrhoea especially that caused by Clostridium difficiledisease (CDD). Patients treated with broad spectrum antibiotics are at greatest risk of CDD diarrhoea and many of thoseaffected are hospitalised elderly patients with serious underlying illnesses. Antibiotics can cause disruption of the normalintestinal flora, an important p ...

The development of tools and effective strategies for the optimisation of useful secondary METAbolite PROduction in planta (METAPRO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2013,

In the METAPRO project we aim to optimise the production of several useful isoprenoid derived secondary metabolites to demonstrate the tools and strategies developed for the generic production of useful secondary metabolites in plants. Astaxanthin (ketocarotenoids) and the apocarotenoid crocin have been selected to demonstrate the application of the technologies adopted and developed. These compou ...

Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,

"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
