Fusarium oxysporum infection of vanilla: Impact on metabolic pathways and properties of pathogen-tolerant genotypes (Project)
Fusarium oxysporum is a parasitic fungus, which can infect different crops and can lead to dramatic damages. Regarding plant-based food such an infection could impact the product quality negatively. The focus of the project is vanilla, whose pods are a significant flavor. In this context the ingredient vanillin is one of the most important aroma components. The aim of the project is to obtain a...

Method development for the authenticity control of soybeans by IRMS-based analysis (Project)
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) is interested in the possibility of analytically determine the origin of feed and food products, to be able to verify the product compliance with deforestation laws (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115). Analytical methods for determining geographical origin are usually based on databases with analysis results from products of known origin....

VitiMikroKlim - The spatiotemporal high resolution recording of microclimatic parameters in viticulture to optimize forecast and processes (Project)
Climate change is already clearly noticeable in winegrowing in Rhineland-Palatinate. According to the Agriculture Ministers' Conference 2019 in Mainz, the economic power of the agricultural holdings is significantly reduced due to the increase in extreme weather events and the resulting damage which is why the the ability to adapt to climate change is to be strengthened. In this regard Weather...

Sorghum – boosting breeding by multilevel modeling - WP6 Sorghum growth modeling (Project)
Sorghum is a promising crop that can contribute to both diversifying the range of crop species and increasing the climate resilience of crop production. As a C4 plant, sorghum has a high heat and drought stress tolerance. Due to its very extensive root system, drought stress tolerance is much higher than in maize. Under the conditions of climate change, the favorable regions for the cultivation...

Two-site experiments to optimize sowing and harvesting times of Taraxacum koksaghyz (Project)
Temporally spread sowings of Taraxacum koksaghyz are planted in parallel in Quedlinburg and Groß Lüsewitz and sampled monthly. Data on biomass and rubber and sugar contents are determined. The aim is to provide a decision-making aid for determining optimum sowing and harvesting times. If the optimum times are not reached, a yield forecast should be possible.

Shigatoxin-producing E. coli in the flour food chain (Project)
The aim of the project is to identify possible entry sources of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) in the flour food chain. For this purpose, various samples will be taken regularly on the research farm of the Friedrich-Löffler-Institute in Braunschweig and analyzed by the participating research institutions (FLI, BfR, MRI and University of Gießen). Fecal samples from cattle, manure samples...

Investigation of the transcriptional activity of Listeria monocytogenes strains in the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) stage (Project)
Bacterial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, which are also found in food, can enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. In this state, they are no longer detectable in food using established cultivation techniques, but can still lead to outbreaks of disease if ingested with food. It has also been shown that VBNC cells are more resistant to decontamination attempts and therefore...

Studies on the Use of Aircraft in Crop Protection (Project)
Conducting drift measurements according to an internationally coordinated measurement protocol to generate drift benchmark values for the use of plant protection products and, if applicable, biocides with aircraft (drone and helicopter). Developing guidelines for the use of drones in the application of plant protection products. The legal basis is § 18 (4) of the German Plant Protection Act...

Characterization of selected meat substitutes regarding their (nutritional) quality and microbiological as well as chemical safety (Project)
The aim of this multi-institutional project is to characterize selected categories of highly processed meat substitutes (bratwurst, burger patties, minced meat, schnitzel/nuggets, unbreaded meat substitutes) in terms of their quality and safety (composition, digestibility, microbiology, residues and contaminants). The survey data will be available as a basis for future evaluations of these...

Nutritional aspects of traditional and innovative pulse products (Project)
The overall aim of the project is to elucidate the nutritional properties of legumes (HF), particularly with regard to lipid and glucose metabolism. Underlying physiological mechanisms, particularly over the effect of the intestinal microbiota, will be examined, as well as technological influences through the preparation of HF. In this project, traditionally prepared legumes (T-HF) (e.g. lentil...
