Demonstrate an innovative antimicrobial solution that can inhibit pathogens

FY 2024-25 · 2025-02-05

Summary
This project aims to determine the optimum conditions (without overly modifying the existing production chain) for implementing an innovative antimicrobial solution against Listeria monocytogenes in high-turnover agri-food plants. In addition, the results of this research could transform preservation methods in the agri-food industry, offering innovative and effective solutions in the form of antimicrobial solution combinations. We will contribute to reducing public health risks and improving the quality of products available on the market.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à déterminer les conditions optimales (sans trop modifier la chaîne de production existante) pour l’implantation d'une solution antimicrobienne novatrice contre Listeria monocytogenes dans des usines agroalimentaires à haut roulement. De plus, les résultats de cette recherche pourraient transformer les méthodes de conservation dans l'industrie agroalimentaire, en offrant des solutions innovantes et efficaces sous forme de combinaison de solutions antimicrobiennes. Nous contribuerons à réduire les risques pour la santé publique et à améliorer la qualité des produits disponibles sur le marché.
Expected Results
The project involves the spray application of Pédiocine PA-1-M31L (INNEO), a natural antimicrobial agent, to combat Listeria monocytogenes, a food pathogen. This innovative method helps prevent contamination of vegetables and meats, especially after the food recalls of 2023 and 2024. The application will be developed in partnership with major players in the food industry. At the same time, they will finalize the maturation of a technology against E.coli.
Expected Results (French)
Le projet consiste à appliquer la Pédiocine PA-1-M31L (INNEO), un agent antimicrobien naturel, par vaporisation pour lutter contre Listeria monocytogenes, un pathogène alimentaire. Cette méthode innovante aide à prévenir la contamination des légumes et des viandes, surtout après les rappels alimentaires de 2023 et 2024. L'application se fera en partenariat avec des acteurs majeurs de l'industrie agroalimentaire. Parallèlement, ils finaliserons la maturation d'une technologie contre E.coli.
