Digital tools facilitate the quality assurance of (organic) food
With the help of rapid systems based on semiconductor sensors, quality deviations in food can be detected immediately. We developed these innovative sensor technologies in the joint project "SHIELD - Safe domestic (organic) food through sensory detection methods", which is funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation.

The rapid systems enable a comprehensive analysis and control of the quality and safety of organic food and products from the moment the goods are received right through to the corresponding further processing of the products. In addition, digital product images can be created for product classification. The "peptide profiling" process was also developed to optimize the recipe of food and to identify possible undeclared product admixtures.
The new technologies are making a significant contribution to the digital transformation of analytics, sensor technology and diagnostics in food quality management. By quickly recording product and food quality along the entire value chain, the organic sector, including many SMEs, will be able to reduce food losses in the future. We support you with the development of methods for determining product quality and shelf life on an optical and gas-sensory basis. The solutions developed in the "Monitoring quality changes" working group are also suitable for the rapid and non-destructive determination of food authenticity.
