Start year 2021 End year 2022 Funding (€) € NA Website https://www.eitfood.eu/projects/suseapro Summary The Sustainable Seafood Processing (SuSeaPro) project will develop novel processing technologies that extend the shelf-life of seafood products, that do not rely on additives or heat treatment, to reduce food loss and waste from farm to fork. The project will also improve food safety and enhance consumer perception by reducing the microbial growth of harmful pathogens. Over 35% of the global seafood production is wasted every year due to the highly perishable nature of seafood. At the same time, seafood is the single food category associated with the most food-borne outbreaks according to the CDC. SuSea is developing novel processing technologies that extend the shelf life of seafood, but do not rely on additives or heat treatment. By extending the shelf life of the seafood we can reduce waste across the supply chain, from farm to fork. At the same time, these processes reduce the microbial growth of harmful pathogens. Thus it improves food safety and enhances consumer perception. During this project, the novel processing equipment will be integrated with sensors in order monitor shelf-life and safety in real-time. This will be done by combining data analytics with existing, proprietary models for food safety and shelf-life predictions. Thus, our value proposition will expand to include early warnings for food safety and actionable results.
