The MICROORC project is pioneering sustainable solutions to combat food spoilage and waste by harnessing microbiome-targeting technologies. With innovations designed to monitor and enhance microbiomes in food and throughout the processing chain, MICROORC aims to reduce spoilage, extend shelf life, and elevate food quality.
“The collaboration between our scientific and industry partners has been incredible. After just one year, we already have exciting results and promising concepts to explore” says Solveig Langsrud, MICROORC coordinator at NOFIMA.
MICROORC is tackling spoilage at the microbial level through advanced bio-solutions like food cultures and fermentates, impacting products such as cold-smoked salmon, fresh chicken, and plant-based alternatives. As these solutions reach advanced research and innovation stages (TRL 6-7), MICROORC is paving the way for a future where sustainable, microbiome-based technologies are key to reducing food waste and enhancing food safety.
