Quality along the food chain
This research theme explores how processing, packaging, and safety determine food quality from raw materials to the consumer. We work for example on projects that study the effects of processing on fruit and vegetable quality, the development of antimicrobial packaging, and food authentication to avoid food fraud.
Topics
- Impact of processing on product quality (e.g. fruits and vegetables)
- Development and evaluation of antimicrobial and sustainable packaging materials
- Safety and circularity of recycled packaging films
- Mechanisms and prevention of food fraud and contamination
- Traceability and quality assurance throughout the food chain
