COLOR PROJECT: “Acrylamide reduction in processed foods”
Project co-financed by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) with the aim of promoting technological development, innovation and quality research.
The COLOR project is a collaborative business initiative aimed at promoting solutions to one of the most important needs of the food sector today: the reduction of acrylamide in industrially processed foods. Its main objective is to identify those tools that are truly effective and industrially viable to reduce acrylamide levels in crisps. To this end, a risk assessment will be carried out and acrylamide reduction measures that are feasible and effective without compromising the quality and safety of each food product will be applied. In addition, alternative methods for acrylamide analysis by measuring product colour or other process parameters will be developed.
With a budget of 503641.00€, the COLOR project will be developed in the facilities of CY IBERSNACKS, S.L. in Medina del Campo (Valladolid) from July 2018 to December 2020.
