Project description
Developing an infrared-based solution for very precise food monitoring
The food chain is one of the cornerstones of modern civilisation. Ensuring a healthy, reliable food supply requires highly accurate detection of chemical and microbial contaminants. Existing detection methods are often costly and require specialised personnel to carry them out. The EU-funded PHOTONFOOD project aims to overcome these obstacles by combining innovations in paper-based sample treatment, mid-infrared sensing and data analysis for on-site detection of chemical and microbial contaminants. These innovations will be used to develop a cutting-edge, portable, high-fidelity, infrared-based solution to be used throughout the food industry for daily monitoring. The goal is to significantly improve food quality while reducing waste throughout the European food industry.
