MICROORC

The #EU has adopted a new regulation on #packaging and packaging waste, and the Norwegian Environment Agency is working on changes to the Norwegian producer responsibility scheme. Marit Kvalvåg Pettersen from Nofima will attend the Norwegian Arendalsuka in mid-August, the most important event in Norway where politicians meet with industry, academia, NGOs, and others to discuss packaging and the new EU regulations on packaging – one of the main focuses of the MICROORC project. In this year's program, Marit Kvalvåg Pettersen will be involved in a panel debate alongside the Norwegian Minister of Climate.

Exciting times for the MICROORC Project consortium! We're in Copenhagen, Denmark, for our General Assembly! Hosted by the Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, 50 participants are coming together for dynamic discussions, idea exchanges, and sharing the incredible progress we've made in developing #sustainable solutions to reduce and prevent #food #spoilage and #waste. Plus, we're diving deep into the Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen's work within MICROORC, like computational modeling of #shelflife with machine learning and mechanistic models, and conducting comprehensive environmental, social, and economic cost-benefit analyses using a mixed-method multi-criteria assessment approach. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey towards a more sustainable future! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dRHhF_6c Nofima Faculdade de Ciências Humanas - Universidade Católica Portuguesa Oulu University of Applied Sciences VIZELPAS //Flexible Films bioMérieux Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen CiaoTech - Gruppo PNO INNOVATION PLACE RISE Research Institutes of Sweden University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest Innoscentia Chr.

Vi har skumle bakterier og nyttige bakterier🧫 Hvordan kan vi spille på lag med disse bakteriene for å kaste mindre mat? Bakterieekspert Solveig Langsrud har lært meg nyttige triks for å kaste mindre mat - og samtidig unngå å bli dårlig av maten: 🍉Vask meloner før du legger de inn i kjøleskapet - der kan det fort vokse listeria 🧊Skru ned kjøleskapstemperaturen så varer maten lengre 🥬Grønnsaker som vokser i eller opp av jorden bør vaskes ekstra nøye. Salat bør vaskes nøyere enn tomater 🍖Kjøttpålegg som er gått ut på dato kan du varmebehandle ved å f eks hive det i omeletten ☀️På varme sommerdager må man være ekstra obs på å sette rester raskt inn i kjøleskapet. 📍Denne uka har vi vært i København for å finne ut av hvordan vi kan bruke bakterier for å redusere matsvinn. Å bekjempe de skumle bakteriene kan bety at vi kan forlenge holdbarheten til kylling og laks💪🏻 Kanskje klarer vi å bytte ut syntetiske konserveringsmidler med naturlige🌿Ved å spille på lag med bakteriene🫱🏻🫲🏼 Dette er noe av det vi forsøker å løse i EU-prosjektet MICROORC Visste du om disse tipsene? Eller har du andre tips?😄 Nofima Dr. Antje Gonera Annette Fagerlund Stine Alm Hersleth Even Heir Mari Øvrum Gaarder Valérie Almli Birgitte Moen Nusrat Sharmin Anne Risbråthe

First day of the second MICROORC general assembly meeting in the nice city of Copenhagen 🏙 MICROORC's a consortium of a very diverse bunch of people with different expertise thinking about reducing food waste and spoilage 🦠 Not surprisingly all of us are looking through different glasses 👓 to that problem. Does that make it challenging? Sure. Could we've walked an easier path? Probably. Is this the best approach to eventually tackle this problem? Hell yeah! 😎

Biosolutions for safe and healthy food 🍽   Good bacteria and enzymes can improve our food, for example by leading to less food waste, more food safety, and less plastic packaging. 🍎   💡 Scientists from Nofima were recently present at the opening of the Novonesis Customer & Application Center and a following seminar on biosoutions in Pohlheim, Germany.   🌐 Novonesis is a partner in MICROORC, a Horizon Europe project coordinated by Nofima. MICROORC was presented during the seminar by Veronique Zuliani, who gave the presentation "The next level of bioprotection - Latest insights and scientific developments in meat & prepared food". 🍴

Get to know Senior Researcher and Prof. Fatima Poças at Escola Superior de Biotecnologia da Universidade Católica Portuguesa! She is coordinating the work under MICROORC Work Package 4, aimed at developing and validating #packaging solutions that extends #shelflife, keeps #food safe, and supports sustainable development.

Which bad odor would make you waste a package of #chicken fillet? MICROORC is on a mission to find out! In our quest for consumer-driven date mark labeling, we're connecting #consumer acceptance with microbiome and sensory profiles across Norway, Portugal and Hungary. Establishing semi-trained sensory panels is key to our success, and in April, we gathered at the Catholic University of Porto for training and to share our latest results. 📸 Check out these snapshots from our sensory training session: 1️⃣ Consumer Scientist Mari Øvrum Gaarder introducing the Norwegian panel 2️⃣ Sensory experts Gard Wigdahl Karlsnes (from Nofima) and Susana Teixeira (from the Catholic University of Porto) leading the training in Porto. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGeV7Xh9 Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our journey to revolutionize date marking in the #foodindustry!
