New member-funded research
for 2009

From December 2008 newsletter     

Industry is heavily involved in formulating the ideas for our member funded research and in selecting the projects of greatest relevance. This ensures that the Member-Subscription - Funded Research Programme is highly relevant to industry's needs - and enables us to maintain and develop the skills and knowledge to solve industry's problems and anticipate future technical needs. Members have selected the following ten new projects, to start from January 2009, across the six strategic themes:-

Raw materials and ingredients

Clean label ingredients

Manufacturing and supply

Thermal process assessment: method development
Food surface decontamination to extend shelf-life

Product quality and innovation

Predicting the microbiological quality of food and drink
Measurement and control of food texture

Food and the consumer

Effects of environment and emotional factors on perception and liking of products

Food and drink safety

Rapid microbiology for food and drink safety and quality assessment
Food allergens - provision of information to inform risk assessment

Knowledge management

Challenge test procedures for assessing safety and quality of food and drink
Labelling claims validator
