Main study areas and research topics
Influence of production or processing related factors on the organoleptical and technological quality of fresh meat
and meat products
Evaluation and prediction of food conservability and shelf life
Optimization of meat and fish products conservability and shelf life Long time preservation of meat (fresh meat)
Modified atmosphere packaging of food

Extraordinary engineering equipments
Agri-food transformation experimental pilot unit in conformity with biosafety L2+ requirements. This original unit
enables the study, in conditions similar to those found in industry, of the influence of food transformation, processing,
preserving and preparation processes (mainly meat, fish, ready to eat foods) on quality and safety parameters
(related to chemical or biological risks)
Equipment related to meat (products) quality evaluation: Spectrophotometer and spectrocolorimeter Near-infrared
spectrometer (FT–NIR Bomem MB 160 D, 800 - 2500 nm) Testing machine (Lloyd LR5k with shear force cell,
penetration and compression cells) Chilled incubators (with light and/or relative humidity control) for preservation
simulation
Services proposal
Physico-chemical analysis of foods: water activity, pH, lipids, proteins, collagen, organic acids, meat pigments, lipid
and protein oxidation indicators* [* in collaboration with the laboratory of Food analysis, ULg]
Evaluation of meat (products) quality: color, tenderness, water holding capacity, vit. E, TBARS, MDA
Evaluation of food conservability and shelf life (microbiological* shelf life, challenge-tests*, lipid/protein/meat
pigments oxidation, color) [* in collaboration with the laboratory of Food microbiology, ULg]
Consulting activities related to food conservability and shelf life, meat quality, meat packaging, carcass quality
Training proposal
Technology of food (40h, ULg / Continuing education)
Nutrition and health (40h, ULg / Continuing education)
Modified atmosphere packaging of foods (4h, in collaboration with IFP)
Food preservation technology (4h, in collaboration with FORMAVET)
Food contact materials: basics and legislation (4h, in collaboration with OSQCA, Lux.)
Influence of production factors on meat quality (2-4h, in collaboration with FORMAVET)
Related Lab'Insight Event
Conservation des aliments réfrigérés
Organized on Wednesday 09th November 2011 at Université de Mons
Cet événement s'est adressé aux entreprises du secteur agro-alimentaire : il leur a apporté des solutions aux
problématiques de transformation, distribution et conservation des produits réfrigérés et des réponses à la maîtrise des
procédés industriels.
