Over 100 projects have been supported as part of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) concept demonstration competition.
Each subsidy is worth 150,000 euros ($ 157,300), which helps to fill the gap between research results and commercialization.
Food scams and misunderstandings harm consumer trust and bring risks to safety and quality. Matthew Collins’s 18 -month project aims to work on these issues. Collins is from Cambridge University in the UK.
This project verifies the protein of food and animal feed by combining two methods. One is peptide quality fingerp linting (PMF). This is a method of identifying proteins by analyzing your own molecular pattern. The other is an approach called Lapmardi. This is a laser support method that enables more accurate protein detection. At the same time, these tools create a higher -speed and reliable method to ensure reliability. The current method is that if the food is processed significantly, it is suffering from high cost and accuracy.
Other food -related projects include MATJAZ HUMAR research on edible lasers on the safety and authentication of food and pharmaceuticals. Studies on Marc FRIEDLANDER projects related to food quality control by RNA profiling and food -responsive sensors for paolo Falcaro’s proportional observation.
Mary Leptin, chairman of the European Research Council, states: This is a useful support for commercialization and scale -up. “
