Multiplex phOtonic sensor for pLasmonic-based Online detection of contaminants in milK
The main goal of the MOLOKO project is the manufacturing, implementation and validation of a self-managing and automatic miniaturized integrated photonic sensor to be used as process analytical instrumentation for fastresponse on-site monitoring of interest analytes for security and quality within milk supply chain.
The MOLOKO miniaturized integrated photonic sensor is specifically designed according to milk primary production, processing, and distribution end-users to enable and guarantee self-monitoring safety and quality standards by the use of a reliable, highly sensitive and specific, low-cost innovative self-screening photonic technology. The effectiveness and market placement of the engineered functional prototype is quantitatively evaluated by direct comparison concerning standard analytical methods and commercially available optical biosensors.
The MOLOKO sensor will allow to detect up to 10 analytes among which food safety parameters, e.g. antibiotics (i.e. penicillin, ampicillin, cephalonium) and toxins (i.e. mycotoxins and bacterial toxins) and food quality parameters e.g. lactoferrin and caseins. This will have a pbeneficial impact on the milk suply chain and industry as a whole.
MOLOKO aims to manufacture, implement and validate a self-managing and automatic miniaturized integrated photonic sensor to be used as process analytical instrumentation for fast response on-site monitoring of interest analytes for security and quality within the milk supply chain. In particular, the project aims at realizing multiplexing quantitative detection among which food safety parameters and food quality parameters by implementing a highly integrated optoplasmonic microfluidic sensor in the strategic checkpoints along with the entire supply and value chain of milk.
