Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SAFEMILK (ON-FIELD INNOVATIVE SYSTEM TO DETECT VERY LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF AFLATOXINS IN MILK)
Período documentado: 2017-02-01 hasta 2017-07-31
The objective of SAFEMILK is to develop and market of an innovative spectroscopy based, portable device, capable to assess small Aflatoxins concentrations in milk. The solution proposed will enable a cost-effective service representing a real added value in particular for the small breeders, target customers, that have not available their own equipped laboratory for the Aflatoxins tests.
The project will have a positive impact on employment, initially eight people will be employed by IDP to reach 20 employees by year 3 after product launch. The early detection and the possibility to easily perform tests every day on the milk to be delivered cancel the risks to expose human to the toxicity of aflatoxins along the value chain, with significant societal implications.
