MICROORC is poised to drive innovation in microbial business solutions across five carefully selected areas, chosen for their potential to enhance sustainable food processing, extend shelf life, and reduce food waste through the monitoring and orchestration of the microbiome:
- development of predictive analytics models incorporating microbiome information to predict shelf life
- the implementation of time-temperature indicators (TTIs), sensors, and smart label solutions for dynamic shelf life labeling
- the creation of rapid detection assays for microbial indicators of food spoilage
- the exploration of microbiome-based protection technologies to replace synthetic chemicals and enhance shelf life and safety
- introduction of novel packaging solutions targeting spoilage to contribute to sustainable development and increase shelf life.
