Abstract:
The project “Sharing molecular techniques for food-borne pathogen detection” (acronym FoBoS), directly
aims to set up a molecular procedure to detect pathogens in milk and foodstuffs. The project is casted inside
the mainframe of “Innovation4Welfare” project (INTERREG IVc), whose objectives are improving the
quality of life by developing a good practice useful for food-borne pathogen early detection. The project
gathers a team in which three University research groups blend with five private company Partners with
different missions (from agro-food industries to meal preparation and distribution public companies). Their
aims will be to analyze, implement and transfer a DNA-array based protocol to the field of food analysis.
In a first step, the protocol will be customized to food-borne pathogen detection and several kinds of food
matrices. In a second phase, the procedure will be implemented in an industrial context. The protocols
validated at the end of WP2 will be transferred to the agro-food and meal distribution companies, as well as
other relevant and interested stakeholders for their implementation on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points (HACCP) and other food-chain critical points.
The expected result of FoBoS will be a new and innovative good practice, which will improve the
effectiveness of regional food safety policies through the implementation of a DNA-array based procedure.
Thanks to the application of this new and versatile technology, and the participation in the consortium of
several typologies of private and public companies, FoBoS will also encourage new business opportunities
focussed into innovative new products and services.
