LintonDirector, Center for Food Safety EngineeringOctober 27-28, 2009Center Goals The purpose of the CFSE at Purdue University is to”develop new knowledge, technologies, and systemsto detect and prevent microbial and chemicalcontamination of foods” Primary goal of detection is to build technologyplatforms to detect:Low numbersAccurate and specificViable vs. non-viableInfectious vs. non-infectiousManageable costsL. monocytogenes, Salmonella, Campylobacter,E. coliCenter Structure/InvolvementResearch ObjectivesPurdue (5 Schools)Agriculture (Home – AGAD)EngineeringConsumer and Family SciencesScienceVeterinary SciencesIndustryFood production and manufacturingTestingRegulatory/GovernmentUSDA-ARS Cooperative Agreement1. Development of diagnostic tools for rapididentification of biological and chemical foodbornecontaminants2. Development of models to predict and trackfoodborne contaminantst3. Identification, design and evaluation of alternativeprocessing, handling, packaging, transport, andstorage systems to minimize and/or reduce foodcontaminants4. Development of technology transfer of informationand knowledge related to food safety for the foodindustry, government agencies, academia, and thepublic2
