Role and Contribution 
Participant 1 is the General Manager of the whole project and will lead
WP3 and WP4. Participant 1contributes to the following main objectives of the
project:
- Modelling the effect of food structure, microbial interactions and dynamic
storage conditions on meat pathogens and spoilage bacteria.
- Combination of validated pathogen growth models with data on prevalence/concentration,
dose response and chill chain conditions for risk assessment with and without
SMAS application.
- Development, modelling and optimization of TTI with accuracy to monitor
microbiological safety of meat products.
- Development of SMAS into a user-friendly computer software.
- Evaluation of the applicability and effectiveness of SMAS in real conditions
of meat distribution. Assessment of the industry acceptance of the TTI and
the concept of chill chain management.
- Evaluation of European consumer attitude on use of TTI and correlation to
quality.
