Development of a pilot service for the electronic infrastructure of METROFOOD-RI
No full textMETROFOOD-RI is a research infrastructure to promote data and information on metrology in food and nutrition and is composed by a Physical infrastructure (P-RI) and an electronic infrastructure (e-RI). Concepts and the development of a pilot e-RI is presented in this work where several datasets from different countries are used and interrelated to integrate national e- resources into a European-wide e-RI providing new functionalities. The general functionalities will be described together with the challenges to combine already existing resources. Issues of the outcome will be discussed together with possible solution for the future. Copyright� (2017) by the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO). All rights reserved

The importance of Metrofood Ri for/in the development of the agrofood sector in the South Eastern European (SEE) partner countries
No full textMETROFOOD-RI is a European Research Infrastructure (RI) aiming at promoting metrology in food and nutrition. In the present work, a mapping of existing RIs and networks of the South Eastern European (SEE) METROFOOD partner countries (i.e. FYROM, Greece, Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Slovenia), related directly or indirectly to the Agrifood sector, is presented and discussed. As reference METROFOOD partner country, The Netherlands is considered. Copyright� (2017) by the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO). All rights reserved
Reference materials in support to food traceability
No full textTraceability represents the ability to trace and follow a food and any ingredient through all the stages from production, up to the distribution and the end use. Thanks to the progress of knowledge, technologies and data processing systems, it is possible to identify markers and develop systems and analytical methods for demonstrating the origin and authenticity of raw materials and products. The application of the metrological rules to chemical and biological measurements requires more and more a wide availability of Reference Materials (RMs), which constitute very often the only way for establishing metrological traceability of the measurement results and for quantifying measurement uncertainty. In this work, an examination of the current availability of RMs for traceability of food products is reported, and the ENEA activities on the development of new RMs for food traceability are described
Feasibility studies for new food matrix-Reference Materials
No full textThis paper reports about the feasibility studies for the development of new food matrix-Reference Materials (RMs) aimed to evaluate quality, safety and traceability of selected food products, performed during the "Early Phase" (H2020 INFRADEV-02-2016 PRO-METROFOOD, G.A. 739568) of METROFOOD-RI "Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition" (ESFRI Domain "Health & Food"), in the frame of the development of pilot services. With this purpose, batches of oyster tissue, rice grains and rice flour were prepared in lyophilized form (oyster tissue) or in their raw form (rice), homogenised, partitioned and then characterised for a very wide set of parameters, such as: contaminants, biomarkers, stable isotopes, markers of origin/authenticity. Such a wide characterisation was aimed to involve as many laboratories as possible and to go forward the development of "Multipurpose-RMs", meaning new RMs having certified, reference or information values for several different parameters. Homogeneity studies and stability studies under thermal and luminous stress are underway. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved
Approximation of Feasible Parameter Set in worst case identification of block-oriented nonlinear models
No full textNetworking tools for standardization
No full textIn order to systematize and networking data and information useful in measurements for food and nutrition, ENEA is developing a web application based on open source cloud technologies. This application will permit to inventory the available resources on Reference Materials, Proficiency Testing schemes and Reference Methods for food analysis, collecting in a single web-site all the available information for standardizing and harmonizing food analysis
