Project Title

Blue light-based disinfection of foods - BlaubaD

Project description

Resource-conserving agriculture and food production are becoming increasingly important against the backdrop of environmental, nature and climate protection as well as food security for a growing world population. In addition to innovative production methods, the shelf life of fresh food is therefore crucial. The OG “BlaubaD” is therefore going to develop and test a simple and cost-effective disinfection module that can be used to sterilize fresh food. In particular, the aim is to extend their shelf life. The application is initially of particular interest to local producers relying on direct marketing, as they retain control over all production and processing steps and can use the disinfection routine at various points. The optimum routine is developed jointly by developers and users in the project and is based on the conditions on the farm. The focus is on simple application in order to ensure transfer to the producers, enable scalability and promote rapid dissemination of the technology.
