The 27th International ICFMH Conference “FoodMicro 2022” was held in Athens, Greece on August 28-31, 2022. The DiTECT project was represented by numerous works either as oral or poster presentations. The partners had the opportunity to present the concept and the philosophy of the project as well as part of their findings so far.
Topics – among others – covered by the research groups were related to
a. Investigation of new tools and acquisition of further information on quantitative microbiological risk assessment,
b. Prevalence and characterization of biological (e.g. microorganisms) and chemical (e.g. toxins) hazards,
c. Investigation of rapid methods for the food quality assessment with the contribution of Information Technology (data analysis, IT-based platforms, data management etc).
