Накратко на български

Химични сензори, базирани на молекулярно отпечатване, се разработват за откриване на вещества в кафето, като кофеин и хлорогенови киселини. Те ще заменят скъпите лабораторни методи, за да се контролира качеството на напитката и влиянието ѝ върху здравето.

Imprinted Polymers as Coffee Sensors

Food quality is a global key priority area where technological advances in terms of quality control have been limited. In the area of coffee quality there are issues related to the identification and quantification of specific targets for a variety of problems, such as control of the coffee variety, to the ability of profiling different varieties based on different concentrations of key components. The vast majority of these problems are currently addressed by techniques such as mass spectrometry, high pressure liquid chromatography, gas chromatography couples with mass spec. These are very costly approaches that require technical personnel highly specialised. The aim of the IPCOS Network is to bring innovation to the field of food quality by developing a project focused on obtaining chemical sensors using the molecular imprinting technology in the coffee industry. The project offered an international, multidisciplinary and intersectorial doctoral training programme that has allowed the development of new approaches to obtain optical and electrochemical sensors. The project has focused on three main targets: a) chlorogenic acids, b) cafestol and kaurene terpenes, c) caffeine and its metabolites, all of which have been shown to have an impact on consumers’ health. This project has brought together 2 academic teams, 1 large international company, one non-profit research centre of excellence, supported by 4 associated teams, including two SMEs with a very multidisciplinary and multisectorial expertise. The IPCOS training program has provided the fellows with acquisition of knowledge ranging from polymer chemistry, biosensors and analytical chemistry to production and quality control, industrial research and development, entrepreneurship and marketing. The program has ensured that all the ESRs are now equipped with a set of unique scientific and transferable skills that together with a strong development of innovation and entrepreneurship ethos, that has inspired and enhanced their career perspectives.

Цел на проекта

Food quality is a global key priority area where technological advances in terms of quality control have been limited. The aim of the IPCOS Network is to bring innovation to the field of food quality by offering an international, interdisciplinary and intersectorial doctoral training programme that will target the development of chemical sensors, using the molecular imprinting technology, for application in the coffee industry, focusing on three main targets: chlorogenic acids, cafestol and kaurene terpenes, caffeine and its metabolites, all of which have been shown to have an impact on consumers’ health. This project brings together 2 academic teams, 1 large international company, 1 SME and one non-profit research centre of excellent, supported by 4 associated teams, with a very multidisciplinary and multisectorial expertise. The IPCOS training program will require ESRs to work 50% of their time in industry, providing them with a set of unique scientific and transferable skills that will match both public and private sector needs, together with a strong development of innovation and entrepreneurship ethos, therefore considerably enhancing their career perspectives. All researchers will aim to achieve a doctoral degree at the end of their training. As a result of the close collaborative links, IPCOS will strengthen the innovation capacity of universities/research institutes to commercially exploit their research and enhance the research potential and competitiveness of European companies and SMEs.
