Blue Bio Database - Database of Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology Projects

The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

Summary	Shelf-life and safety of fermented and smoked foods Researchers at Teagasc Food Research Centre (Ashtown), University College Dublin and Technological University Dublin will study the growth of pathogenic and spoilage bacteria under different conditions. The data generated will be used to develop models to predict the safety and shelf-life of a range of fermented and smoked foods including pepperoni, salami, sauerkraut, kefir and smoked salmon. The target bacteria include Listeria monocytogenes, Shiga toxinproducing Escherichia coli, Clostridium botulinum, Staphylococcus aureus and heat resistant coliforms. In addition to assuring the safety and providing accurate shelf-life determination, research on virulence gene expression, physiochemical and sensory attributes and packaging will provide the scientific basis for safety and shelf-life optimisation. This work will be undertaken in full consultation with relevant stakeholders using commercial recipes and processes. Full training on predictive software application will be provided.
