Abstract
The FoodTraNet training network is organised into six Work Packages. These Work Packages optimise the synergy between research topics and stimulate knowledge exchange between beneficiaries, partners, and ESRs. Knowledge and results obtained within one WP will support or stimulate the work of the other WPs. A strong programme for complimentary training is providing ESRs with important transferable skills, while Open Science principles provide new opportunities to disseminate, share, exploit knowledge and collaborate with researchers within and outside the network.
Significance for science
The goal of the project is to identify biomarkers and bioactive compounds using a common platform of novel advanced MS tools including stable isotope (IRMS), target, suspect and non-target screening and MSI to assure food quality and traceability based on statistical and spatial modelling approaches. To develop and characterize new technologies based on the latest advances in material science and nanotechnology: (1) edible photonic barcodes for food traceability; (2) nano-sensors; (3) smart nanostructured materials for extraction and determination of bioactive compounds and contaminants; and (4) new active and intelligent packaging materials with the aim of improving food safety and reducing food waste.
