Workplan

Role of Subcontractor

Vitsab Sweden AB, Stenyxegatan 21, SE-213 76 Malmoe, Sweden.
Principal scientist: Dr. Peter Ronnow, Ph: +46 40 215020, e-mail: peter.ronnow@vitsab.se

The subcontractor will contribute to the following: Develop standard and non-standard TTI formulations for the project. Identify new lipids as substrate for the enzyme reaction to test applicability to the meat safety aspects of the project and to establish their energy of activation (WP3). Co-develop with P1 a new TTI design based on a solid support immobilizing the lipid substrate which will be more easily read by photoelectrical sensors in an automatic registration system of the TTI kinetics. Provide the studied TTI to the other participants in the project for applications of WP5 and WP6.
