A team of scientists is developing a rapid sensor-based decision-making system to assess and mitigate Salmonella contamination across the entire poultry supply chain, with an emphasis on improving health equity by leveraging data to help disproportionately affected communities make informed food safety decisions.
McMaster University researchers have created a new packaging tray that can signal when Salmonella or other foodborne pathogens are present in raw or cooked foods, such as chicken.
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT’s) research enterprise in Singapore, the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), are conducting research to aid the development of nanosensor technology for the detection of foodborne bacteria.
Researchers from Pusan National University in Busan, South Korea have developed a polydiacetylene-based sensor that offers rapid visual detection of biogenic amines released from spoiled food, indicating when products have gone bad.
Zebra Technologies Corporation has announced its new line of environmental sensors, including the new ZS300 sensor, ZB200 Bridge, and Android Sensor Discovery app.
Researchers have introduced a novel, thermal biosensor for real-time detection of Escherichia coli,demonstrating its ability to detect the pathogen in milk without sample preparation. The sensor would be easy to mass produce, and shows potential as a low-cost, rapid tool for onsite microbial indication.
Researchers have developed a novel, food-grade, edible sensor that can alert consumers to frozen products that have previously been thawed and refrozen.
The food and beverage industry is undergoing a digital transformation. From large corporations to smaller, more flexible brands, companies are using digital technologies to collect more data regarding their workflow processes and to ensure safety and quality in food processing, packaging, and distribution.
