A cornerstone of the Swedish Food Strategy is trust in Swedish food production. Yet each year Swedish farmers and food processors lose both money and trust due to food fraud, especially for non-Swedish meat relabelled as Swedish. Most fraud remains undetected. A recent analytical development, Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) detects small changes in food composition based on 100s of lipids within a few seconds of making a direct measurement of a sample. Our initial tests on differentiating the same cut of meat from different countries is promising. We will develop new methods based on REIMS to ensure robustness required for long-term food testing, using beef, pork, lamb, horse and chicken meat as model systems to characterise the potential and limitations for species and origin determination. We will develop a workflow that will make REIMS easy to use in industry and testing labs making food fraud easier to detect, and ensuring continued trust in Swedish food.
Livsmedelsstrategin lyfter särskilt tilltron till svensk livsmedelsproduktion som en nyckelparameter för framgång, men tilltron hotas av matfusk. Största delen av matfusket upptäcks inte p.g.a. långsamma mätmetoder. En ny uppfinning inom masspektrometri kan vara en lösning: ’Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometery’ (REIMS) kan detektera hundratals lipider i obehandlade prover inom bara några få sekunder. Våra preliminära data tyder på att detta är en mycket lovande teknik för att skilja mellan kött av samma typ från olika länder, men den enorma potentialen för REIMS inom livsmedelskvalitetsanalys har ännu inte utvärderats. Vi kommer att utveckla nya REIMS-baserade metoder, med särskilt fokus på att säkerställa långsiktig robusthet. Nöt, gris, lamm, häst och kycklingkött kommer ändvänds som modellsystem för att undersöka denna tekniks möjligheter och begränsningar för upptäck av art- och ursprung av kött och därefter utveckla robusta arbetsflöden för snabbt upptäckt av matfusk.

Increased production and export of products with high added values, e.g. long-ripened hard cheeses, are considered important steps for a positive development of the Swedish dairy sector. Increased investment in Swedish premium cheese will, however, require increased volumes of high quality raw milk …

The purpose of this project is to identify the transmission routes for Campylobacter to broiler flocks and recommend actions at farm level to reduce the number of chickens with Campylobacter. Furthermore, to analyse routines at slaughter including cleaning of slaughterhouses and transport crates to …

Insufficient crop protection is an increasingly limiting factor for crop production. Damage by slugs and cabbage stem flea beetles in winter oilseed rape are timely examples of increasing crop protection problems in Sweden. We will test whether companion cropping winter oilseed rape with frost …

The root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is an increasing problem in carrot cultivation in Sweden and Europe. Soil analysis is extremely important to plan sustainable crop rotations, reduce nematode multiplication in soil and eventually minimize yield loss. Traditional soil analyses are time …

Correct assessment of hind limb lameness is a challenge, also for most experienced vets. This causes incorrect diagnoses and faulty treatment interventions which lead to unnecessary suffering for the horses and an unnecessary financial burden for owners and insurance companies. The aim of this …

Competing unshod is an important issue for the Swedish harness industry. There is a general opinion that performance may increase significantly but it does not always work. The reason for failure may be disturbed locomotion “balance” of the horse or due to pain from the hooves. This is obviously …

Disease and production disturbances in a herd are often silent, and may cause major losses if they remain undetected. Continuous analysis and monitoring of data already recorded at the farm level can improve profitability. This project will develop methods for monitoring trends in production and …

The purpose of this project is to define the amount of slaked lime needed for a given clay soil. We hypothesise that the amount of slaked lime needed for minimal phophorus loss is dependent on the clay content of the soil. The study will be conducted in a field with a drainage system and measuring …
