ELISA-Microbiology Laboratory

Research and studies

incidence of pathogenic microorganisms in food
sanitation and food hygiene tests for food processing units (technological flow, work equipment, packaging materials, personnel)
studies for determinating the shelf life of food products
determination of mycotoxins, allergens, antibiotics, vitamins using the ELISA enzyme immunoassay in cereals, feed and food
consulting in the design of the testing program for various analyzes and food matrices or in other fields of microbiology (hygiene practices on technological flow, identification of risks on flow)
development and implementation of systems to reduce microbial contamination
research on establishing the shelf life of food products and improving their quality
approach and development of natural food preservation techniques
evaluating the use of natural antimicrobial compounds for food spoilage control and increasing stability
elaboration of quantitative and qualitative models in order to inactivate the growth and microbial contamination but also of the mycotoxin content in cereals and food products
research on controlling the presence of food allergens (gluten) in special purpose foods
controlling fermentations used in the food industry: composition of fermentation environment, establishment and optimization of fermentation technologies, using fermentation and the products obtained from fermentation in improving the food quality
