Recent press reports on the problem of acrylamide in food products, observing the potential linkage between it and cancer in humans are common. The increasing nature of these articles serves to raise public awareness. The food industry and industry bodies have acted on these jutifiable concerns and have produced technical guidance to manufacturers to reduce acrylamide levels. Safe limits are not yet specified, leaving it to the industry to achieve ALARA as the target. This is clearly a moving target as technology develops and new opportunities arise and the onus is on the industry to achieve reductions. One of the real challenges faced has been the complexity of the supply chain / manufacturing process and the inability to measure acrylamide other than with considerable delay in a laboratory. This project will investigate approaches for growing potatoes in a manner that reduce their potential to produce acrylamide. It will also derive better online measurement / estimation and how information from the supply chain and manufacturing line can be used to reduce levels of acrylamide in manufactured potato products. Subsequently the project will deliver improved measurement and control providing increased confidence to the consumer in the safety of potato and potato-derived products alongside bread and cereals.

最近关于食品中丙烯酰胺问题的新闻报道，观察到它与人类癌症之间的潜在联系是常见的。这些文章的性质越来越多，有助于提高公众的认识。食品行业和行业机构已就这些值得关注的问题采取行动，并向制造商提供了降低丙烯酰胺水平的技术指导。安全限度尚未明确，将实现ALARA作为目标留给行业。随着技术的发展和新机会的出现，这显然是一个不断变化的目标，行业有责任实现减排。面临的真正挑战之一是供应链/制造过程的复杂性，以及无法测量丙烯酰胺，除非在实验室中进行相当大的延迟。该项目将研究以减少土豆生产丙烯酰胺潜力的方式种植土豆的方法。它还将产生更好的在线测量/估计，以及如何利用来自供应链和生产线的信息来降低加工马铃薯产品中的丙烯酰胺水平。随后，该项目将提供改进的测量和控制，增加消费者对土豆和土豆衍生产品以及面包和谷物的安全性的信心。
