Project
Project code: 2812NA122
Contract period: 01.09.2014
- 30.04.2017
Budget: 252,487 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Development of a guideline enabling food processors and other businesses in the food supply chain to optimize their systems for managing cleaning and hygiene under environmental aspects. On the basis of a literature research and interviews with experts from science and commercial practice, different strategies for management of cleaning, disinfection and related measures to assure hygiene are elucidated. These strategies are subsequently evaluated with respect of practicability, legal requirement, effectiveness and environmental compatibility. Promising strategies are then tested in two small or medium commercial food processing units covering sectors such as meat processing, cheese and/or ice cream manufacture and/or vegetable processing. Examples for „best practice“ of other food processors are also included. Subsequently, existing cleaning and disinfecting agents are evaluated on the basis of criteria including effectiveness and protection of the environment, and a list is prepared, with a preview on future developments.
