Formulation and processing of a clean label apple base juice: The integration of high pressure based technologies and the use of natural ingredients KU Leuven
In recent years, food industry has shown a high interest in clean label foods, which are produced with more organic, natural, and transparent formulations and the use of less invasive processing technologies. Fresh or ‘not from concentrate fruit juices as natural and health-oriented beverages, have gained increasing market value around the world, particularly in developed countries. For these juices, browning, cloud losses, and flavor changes ...
MICROPLASTICS AS A VECTOR OF PATHOGENS CONTAMINATION, INFECTION AND RESISTANCE: A CASE OF Campylobacter IN POULTRY PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING Ghent University
Campylobacter are well adapted to life in the intestines of animals and humans, so it is surprising that they can also survive on the surface of meat and following the best cleaning used to remove organic matter from facilities and equipment. Researchers have recently solved this puzzle, showing the enormous benefit for Campylobacter from multispecies biofilm communities. We are aware of sites prone to biofilm formation, but we are not aware ...
Integration of process control concept, dynamic simulation modelling, and molecular tools in microbiological risk assessment: the case of Campylobacter spp. Contamination in broiler meat processing Ghent University
The study will adopt a multidisciplinary scientific approach for development of Campylobacter Microbiological Risk Assessment (MRA) aiming at reducing the risk of human disease from consumption or mishandling of raw or undercooked broiler meat products. Micriobiological, epidemiological and molecular genetic studies will be integrated to provide mathematical and biological contribution to Campylobacter risk mitigation strategies in broiler ...

IOF PoC “CAPTCHA 2.0 - Completely Automated Processing of scanned Text documents by teaching Computers how Humans Analyze them” Vrije Universiteit Brussel
These were introduced to prevent spam attacks by exploiting that computer vision has not (yet?) reached human capabilities, meanwhile helping with image-to-text processing of old book scans. Humans are indeed superior in recognizing text from complicated ...

The impact of COVID, lockdown and subsequent easing on recovery in an ongoing international study of people in recovery from drug addiction Ghent University
Addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder that causes significant harms to individuals, families and communities, and addiction recovery is a fragile and complex process. The study extends an existing NIHR and Horizon 2020 research cohort (from the ERANID programme, and so is a rare 'active' cohort study in the addictions field). There have been three rounds of data collection on recovery pathways by gender, with an outcome study follow-up ...
