A Planning Grant for Participation in a Refined Expanded Industry/University Cooperative Research Center

摘要EEC-9731524施瓦茨食品工业是美国经济的重要组成部分，其加工和包装技术发展迅速。该奖项是为了确定俄亥俄州立大学成为多所大学无菌加工和包装研究行业/大学合作研究中心的研究地点的可行性和可行性的规划会议。北卡罗来纳州立大学和加州大学戴维斯分校是该中心目前的研究地点。俄亥俄州立大学的研究网站建议通过以下项目扩展当前中心的研究议程：1.验证无菌包装系统的杀菌效率2.脉冲电场过程的建模3.高速显微成像可视化的PEF杀菌效果4.臭氧对食品接触表面的净化及其在无菌灌装机中的潜在应用5.微滤对液体食品的微生物控制以及微滤与其他非热加工方法的结合6.改进的安全的切达奶酪原料奶7.工艺开发发酵饮料的单步微生物和胶体稳定首席研究员和他的同事是各自领域的国际公认的专家，完全有资格召开他们的规划会议。

ABSTRACT EEC-9731524 SCHWARTZ The food industry is a very important component of the U.S economy and its processing and packaging technology is developing rapidly. This award is for a planning meeting to determine the feasibility and viability of Ohio State University becoming a research site of the multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Aseptic Processing and Packaging Studies. North Carolina State University and the University of California-Davis are the Center's current research sites. The Ohio State University research site proposes to expand the current Center's research agenda with the following projects: 1. Validating Sterilization Efficiency of Aseptic Packaging Systems 2. Modeling of Pulsed-Electric Field Processes 3. PEF Bactericidal Effect Visualized by High Speed Microscopic Imaging 4. Decontamination of Food-Contact Surfaces by Ozone and Potential Application in Aseptic Fillers 5. Microbial Control of Fluid Foods with Microfiltration and Combinations of Microfiltration with other Non-Thermal Processing Methods 6. An Improved Safe Cheddar Cheese from Raw Milk 7. Process Development of Single Step Microbial and Colloidal Stabilization for Fermented Beverages The Principal Investigator and his colleagues are internationally recognized experts in their fields and are well qualified to run their planning meetings.
