The WP5 (HERE) is focused on the quality and safety of aquaculture products. It focuses on five general objectives.
Characterize feed Formulated from alternative protein sources for farmed sea bream and evaluate their effect on the nutritional and sensory quality of the sea bream throughout its entire life cycle. identify bioactive compounds and possible contaminants in the edible portions and viscera.
Designing through co-creative tools new products processed products that are healthy, sustainable, and nutritious from different aquaculture species. Characterize and evaluate their shelf life and consumer perception of the new products.
Evaluate consumer perceptions of aquaculture quality and sustainability. Conduct workshops and seminars. dissemination to society.
Develop surface treatments that contribute to the sanitization/disinfection of surfaces in contact with food in fish processing rooms.
Develop methods of contaminant detection in fast, low-cost fishery products based on photonic nanosensors.
To characterize feed raw materials, including alternative protein sources, and feed formulated for aquaculture sea bream. To evaluate the effect of feeding these feeds throughout the entire life cycle on the nutritional, functional, and sensory quality of sea bream. This includes identifying bioactive compounds and potential contaminants in the edible portions and viscera.
Design new processed products using different species (shrimp and sea bream) using co-creative tools and implement the selected products with a healthy, sustainable, and nutritious purpose. Characterize and evaluate the shelf life and perception of the formulated products.
Evaluate consumer perceptions of aquaculture quality and sustainability. Conduct workshops and community outreach events.
Develop surface treatments that contribute to the sanitization/disinfection of food-contact surfaces and new plant-based lubricants to improve food safety for fish processing equipment.
Develop rapid and low-cost methods for detecting contaminants in fishery products, based on photonic nanosensors.
