Alternative Quality and Authenticity Methods for Sugar and Confectionery Industry

Description du projet

Améliorer les performances de l’industrie européenne de la confiserie

Bien qu’elle représente 35 % du marché mondial, l’industrie européenne de la confiserie est actuellement à la recherche d’outils pour améliorer sa compétitivité. Le projet SuChAQuality, financé par l’UE, a pour objectif de développer un réseau international et intersectoriel d’organisations capables de garantir une plus grande authenticité et qualité dans le secteur de la confiserie. Le projet entend améliorer la qualité de la recherche et de l’innovation en Europe, en encourageant la coopération entre les acteurs de la chaîne de valeur du sucre. Rassemblant un groupe de partenaires universitaires et industriels, le projet produira des techniques d’analyse avancées, des solutions abordables et durables pour les participants non universitaires, des méthodes de contrôle de qualité fiables et efficaces ainsi que de nouvelles compétences pour les chercheurs participants.

Objectif

SuChAQuality aims to form an international and cross-sectoral network of organizations having expertise and skills in different areas to develop novel analytical methodologies to tackle the authenticity and quality problems of sugar and confectionery industries. SuChAQuality will enhance the quality of R&I in Europe, promoting cooperation along the ‘Sugar’ Value Chain actors. This will be achieved through advanced international, intersectoral, cooperation between 7 academic and 5 industry partners who have in-depth knowledge of food science, chemistry, physics, design, production, biotechnology, statistics, mathematics and engineering. The participants of the network will exchange skills and knowledge which will allow them to progress towards making key advances in new food analysis techniques, while strengthening the collaborative research between different countries and sectors. Advances in quality and authenticity methods that will be developed within the scope of the project will bring affordable and convenient solutions for non-academic participants which will help to protect the quality and authenticity of their products thus reducing their waste. In turn, this will bring both cost savings to the consumers of such products and ensure that society as a whole benefit from a stable supply of authentic and good quality products. The staff members who participate in the project will develop new skills, be exposed to new research environments and have their career perspectives widened. SuChAQuality will focus on the quality and authenticity problems of sugar and confectionery sectors which are closely related and feeding each other. In SuChAQuality quick; reliable; affordable and efficient quality control methods will be developed to replace the current traditional methods that have been used in these industries.
