FAO establishes that 38% of the total energy consumption in the world food system is used to produce food that is lost or spoiled, making it clear that reducing waste is key to reduce the ecological footprint of the sector.<\/p>\n<p>Optical systems capable of reducing solids loss during cheese production are available, through control of curd firmness and\/or syneresis, as well as monitoring changes in the raw material, such as the size of the casein micelles, or the emulsifying and foaming capacity of whey proteins. It is also applied in the cooking of meat emulsions to reduce losses.<\/p>\n<p>The system is based on a set of custom fiber optic sensors, made under request, which can be used at the laboratory level and incorporated into industrial equipment. For the first time, a technology of this type is introduced that can be configured inline, which is also cheaper and faster than those currently on the market and allows decision-making and corrections during the production process. This optimization of processes provides, as an additional benefit, a reduction in energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, various food producing companies (end-users), machinery manufacturers for the agri-food industry, as well as integrator and photonics companies have expressed interest in our solution.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=\u00bbfull_width_content\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb equal_height=\u00bbyes\u00bb content_placement=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb full_height=\u00bbyes\u00bb columns_placement=\u00bbstretch\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1&#8243; background_image=\u00bb6891&#8243; column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/4&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6913","page","type-page","status-publish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Optical systems Optical systems to reduce food waste in the industry The solution proposed by our group focuses on reducing the losses of the food industry in the production phase, in particular, in the dairy and meat sectors.
