Stilbenoids as promising environment-friendly natural products to minimize the contamination of wheat and grape with toxigenic fungi and associated mycotoxins – StilDeTox
The goal of the StilDeTox project is to investigate, potentiate and exploit the biological activity of stilbenoid extracts to develop environmental-friendly solutions to counteract the growth of F. graminearum and A. carbonarius and the production of their mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochrat
High-throughput screening tools for a reinforced chemical safety surveillance of food – SENTINEL
To overcome the limitations and strengthen the existing monitoring system, INRAE is developing with other national players (IFIP, CNRS, CEA, ONIRIS, INRIA, University of Perpignan) three additional options for the rapid and cost-effective detection of chemical contaminants (objective 1): 1) The “sam
LIPOMEC: TOWARDS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF RUMINANT MILK LIPOLYSIS THROUGH AN INTEGRATIVE BIOLOGY APPROACH IN MILK AND MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS (MEC) – LIPOMEC
The objectives of LIPOMEC are (i) to identify factors that may be responsible for high levels of lipolysis in milk (ii) to better understand lipolysis in milk and mammary gland of ruminants (cow, goat, sheep) by an integrative biology approach (iii) to develop tools and methods to estimate and reduc
Optimizing the protein value of pea seeds – PEAVALUE
By producing protein-rich seeds without N-fertilizers, legumes can contribute to satisfying the growing demand for plant proteins for human and animal nutrition while reducing environmental impacts. PEAVALUE will target pea, one of the most important grain legume crops in Europe, which is of increas
Optimising the use of discretionary salt – SalEtMieux
The Sal&Mieux collaborative project gathers the expertise of 5 academic partners with the aim to evaluate and to enhance the sensory availability and perception of discretionary salt, as a function of actual consumers’ salting practices during food cooking and seasoning, in order to provide stakehol
Enhancing the Quality and the Level of Internal Protections of Shell Eggs – EQLIPSE
Controlling egg quality is essential for the egg industry. Certain alterations, induced by external factors such as the hen age or egg storage conditions for example, can indeed lead to negative impacts at the health and economic levels. Current husbandry practices tend towards an increase in the pr
Effect of non-nutritive sweeteners on vascular function: deciphering the role of the T1R sweet-taste receptors – SOSweet
Non-nutritive sweeteners consumption as an alternative to high-energy food and beverages is expanding worldwide. This consumption is associated with weight gain and increased risk of type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular events. However, underlying mechanisms to better understand the physiological e
Price and modelling of food behaviours: new models for the evaluation of price policies – PRIMOFOOD
The PRIMOFOOD project aims to innovate in modelling the effect of food prices on household purchasing behaviour. It is in line with axis 1.5 of the AAPG2019 "Food and Food Systems". The proposed innovations will allow for a better assessment of the effectiveness and distributive effects of nutrition
Quest of Pesticides in Foodstuff by using High Resolution Mass Spectrometry: targeted and untargeted approach – AlimOmic
Pesticides are widely used in agriculture. Although they produce high yields, they are not without consequences for the planet and human beings. Moreover, people are increasing concern by this topic. In order to protect the human health the regulation involves maximum residue limits and monitoring a
Economics of Plant-based Diets and Animal Welfare – EPDAW
There is a growing scientific consensus around the need to significantly reduce the consumption of animal-based products. Springmann et al. (2016) estimate that food production could account for 52% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 if nothing is done, but could decrease to only 15% if humanity ad
Grades and Standards for African Farmers – GSAF
With deepening globalization of food markets, demand for higher quality agricultural products has been rising rapidly in Sub Saharan Africa. Yet, lack of farm-level quality recognition in domestic value chains frequently fails to give incentives to smallholder farmers to improve quality, putting the
