Sustainable food consumption

Reducing meat and fish waste

In collaboration with AmiNIC ApS and Fraunhofer ISIT, we have demonstrated a high-sensitive and selective method for determination of meat and fish expiration dates for 4 types of meat products. The method uses micro-cantilever sensing elements for detection of a meat freshness biomarker gas (cadaverine).

The research and development are divided into the following focus areas:

  • Overcoming micro-cantilever non-linearities for improved sensitivity (funded by DFF green transition)
  • Control of sensing element functionalization for reproducible upscaling (funded by Interreg Deutschland-Danmark)
  • Multi-cantilever systems for ultra-sensitive sensing elements (funded by Interreg Deutschland-Danmark)
  • Cantilevers based on SU-8 materials (funded by Interreg Deutschland-Danmark)
  • Device testing and prototyping (commercialization activity)

 

Reducing fruit and vegetable waste

Metal-oxide semiconductor sensors detecting fruit and vegetable freshness biomarkers are developed for future control and reduction of food waste.

The research and development are divided into the following focus areas:

  • Design and fabrication of sensor substrates and sensor elements (master project)
  • Functionalization of sensor elements (master project)
  • Prototyping and sensor interface (master project)
