Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The EU meat industry is in the process of adapting itself more strongly than previously to the demands and needs for quality products. From the scientific view there are three parallel innovation challenges: 1. the chain inversion, that means the transition from a supply to a demand driven supply chain and self-regulation, 2. the support of new sustainable technologies in food safety control systems, 3. the establishment of a knowledge infrastructure for the development and implementation of technologies and new structures as an integral part of the transition. QUARISMAs goal is to stimulate more sustainable development in the European meat sector, and simultaneous, to mobilise the scientific knowledge needed to bring this about. This will be achieved mainly by collaborating in interdisciplinary cross-boarder research teams to develop a new knowledge infrastructure to translate knowledge questions from practice projects into research questions and vice versa. Collaborations between two universities and two private organisations in the meat sector supported by a public-private-partnership organisation will be established to come to grips with this complex of problems. The join intersectoral program will synthesize and place into perspective the seemingly wide divergent topics of Chain Management, Quality and Information Management, as well as Food Safety and Risk Management into a cohesive focus to maintain the highest food safety and quality for the consumers benefit. The transfer of knowledge will be further enhanced by the research fellowships of staff members and researchers in five partner institutions from Germany and the Netherlands. This novel interdisciplinary research team will lead this proposal to achieve scientific as well as social goals and will potentially set new trends to establish European research in quality and risk management as having a world-leading role in this field with reference of the meat sector.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A study of the meat chain is revealing several novel ways to upgrade quality, promote food safety and reduce risk from microbial diseases.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The meat industry is an important part of the economy and the food chain, but it has often been mired by controversy and an unhealthy reputation. The EU-funded project 'Quality and risk management in meat chains' (Quarisma) is bringing innovation and in-depth know-how to the sector, creating progressive exchanges between industry and research. The project is focusing on chain management, quality standards, information management, risk management and food safety, using boar meat as a starting point.
Quarisma is working on developing and improving cost-effective consumer oriented net-chain integration through public private partnerships and knowledge transfer. It is using the Deutsche Raffeisen Verband (DRV) in Germany as a sustainable model and conducting a study on planning, logistics and optimisation of meat chains. This is expected to lead to mechanisms that can combat outbreaks of classical swine fever in the Lower Saxony region.
Moreover, the project is looking at herd health management in pork supply at slaughter line, which includes the application of antibiotics. It is elaborating recommendations to improve animal health and production, strongly supporting farmers and actors in the meat chain.
In more detail, the project has developed a new approach to compare the microbiological quality of minced meat produced in different production plants. It has validated serological screening for Mycobacterium Avium and developed a new boar taint detection method. Quarisma has also improved disinfection of slaughter equipment, studying risks of listeria, salmonella and other disease hazards.
These new innovations and accompanying studies are expected to advance the prospect of risk-based meat inspection across Europe and support farmers in health management throughout the meat chain. The developments will bring a welcome boost to food safety, disinfection methods, environmental management and more.
