SenSpores
The aim of this project is to minimise perishability, and thereby waste, of food by developing new sensor strategies for rapid detection of mould and bacterial spores in liquid food.
The main objective of the SenSpores project is to further develop a sensor technology that was developed at the University of Maastricht and Ruhr-University Bochum. This biosensor technology is capable of quickly and easily detecting contamination.
This enables food producers to routinely pre-screen their products and prevent the spread of contamination. This can have an impact on the entire value chain as contamination can occur anywhere during harvesting, production, as well as during the packaging and transportation of these products. Additionally, this will benefit the sustainability of the production process as such technology can detect contamination more specifically so that any structural sources of contamination can be adjusted.
The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union via Interreg VI Germany-Netherlands (€1,342,556.46 EU grant). Additional funding is provided by MWIKE NRW (€287,690.67), the Province of Limburg (€115,076.29) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate (€172,614.42).
