Collaborative project: Plasma-based decontamination of dried plant-related products for an enhancement of food safety. Subproject 5 (3Plas)
Project
Project code: 2819103113
Contract period: 01.07.2014
- 30.06.2017
Budget: 591,012 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: food technology, food engineering, poison, toxins, food safety, process quality, processing, food processing, medicinal plants and spices, product safety
The use of low temperature plasmas (NTP) opens up fundamentally new possibilities for food production. The objective of the proposed research project is to ensure the safety of dry products through the use of NTP, while maintaining product quality. Besides the microbiological safety this includes the physico-chemical assessment of the treated products. Subsequent to the identification of the optimal plasma source and defining relevant treatment parameters a prototype will be built and tested on a pilot scale regarding practicality. Through the cooperation with business enterprises, the integration of the developed technical solutions is supporting the adaptation for practical operation. For the implementation of the overall project, two major plot lines are: i) process design and technical implementation in pilot scale (INP Greifswald, KÖHL Maschinenbau AG and CZIOTEC GmbH); ii) process Monitoring and Product Safety (ATB Potsdam, First Sensor AG). Both sub-projects are carried out in close interaction between industry and research partners, thereby providing a high practice relevance of the solutions is ensured. Among others, wheat grains, wheat flours and medicinal plants (e. g. chamomile) will be relevant test samples for the research study on tailored plasma processes.
