Накратко на български

Методите на „енджиномиката“ се използват за създаване на качествени храни от плодове, зеленчуци и бобови култури. Това помага за намаляване на хранителните отпадъци и въглеродния отпечатък на хранителната верига.

Enginomics in food quality design: the case of shelf-stable fruit-, vegetable- and legume-based foods

Today’s food chain is facing a number of challenges, including the increasing demand for food due to the increasing world population, a high degree of food loss and waste, impact of the food chain on climate change, the demand for increased food quality and changing consumer patterns. The inclusion of fruit-, vegetable- and legume (FVL)-based foods in the diet can contribute to the accomplishment of these challenges. These foods have high potential to create products with high nutritional value and low carbon footprint. The transformation of FVL into foods and ingredients by innovative and sustainable strategies is key in creating a more efficient and sustainable food chain. Using an ‘enginomics’ approach will be very useful to study food raw materials, processing, digestion or shelf-life as it integrates novel engineering and data analysis techniques. To tackle these challenges, the food sector needs highly trained co-workers that are aware of new approaches to transform FVL or relevant side streams thereof into high-quality food products and/or ingredients. The overall objective of FOODENGINE is therefore to provide an extensive training program introducing an ‘enginomics’ approach for food quality design, with focus on FVL. Next to focusing on instrumental analyses, sensorial properties and consumer acceptability will be evaluated.

Цел на проекта

The overarching objective of FOODENGINE is to provide, for the first time, a research-based training programme to a new generation of young food scientists and technologists by introducing an enginomics approach in food quality design. It connects an omics approach to instrumentally quantify food quality with an advanced engineering approach using multi-response kinetics to model food quality changes during processing and storage. At the same time, FOODENGINE will develop models linking the enginomics-based instrumental food quality design with sensory properties, consumer acceptability and consumer preferences to create new products appealing to consumers. FOODENGINE provides unique interdisciplinary, international and intersectoral training opportunities to 13 ESRs, each for 36 months. This extensive international (5 countries), intersectoral (2 universities, 1 research institute and 6 food (ingredient) companies) and interdisciplinary (food engineering, food chemistry, food nutrition and sensory/consumer research) training should lead for all ESRs to a PhD degree. FOODENGINE will boost the career perspectives of the FOODENGINE fellows to the top level. In addition, it has the ambition to become a best-practise example for structuring PhD research training in food science and technology at the European level. Although FOODENGINE specifically focusses on sustainable commodities which are essential parts of a healthy lifestyle (fruit-, vegetable-, legume-based food ingredients and foods), the skills and new ways of thinking the fellows will acquire are generic and can be extrapolated beyond the specific application area (diverse range of food systems or food processes) in their future careers.
