Purdue University received a $601,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to study the microbial ecology and mechanisms underlying spoilage and growth of foodborne pathogens in meat products. The primary objectives are to characterize the biochemical changes and microbial communities that develop during muscle-specific aging of beef products, and identify key metabolites in...
This Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, is focused on investigating the social implications of the development of cell-cultivated meat technology on the livestock industry. The $649,922 award to Tufts University School of Medicine will be used to: 1) understand meatpacking workers' and beef producers' concerns and the potential technological impacts...
This $180,000 federal Project Grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to conduct research on consumer acceptance of cell-cultured meat (CCM) as an alternative protein source. The research will use virtual reality experiments and sensory testing to understand consumer willingness to try, purchase, and adopt CCM compared to conventional and plant-based meat products. Key objectives include assessing...
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research, provides $647,349 over a 4-year period beginning July 1, 2024. The goal of this research is to identify key factors influencing U.S. consumer perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors towards cell-cultured meat (CCM) alternatives. The project has two specific objectives: 1) to determine the basis for consumer...
Purdue University received a $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to establish novel post-harvest processing systems that can improve beef quality attributes and foster the profitability and sustainability of the local meat sectors. The research program aims to address the lack of local slaughter capacity and high processing costs faced by local livestock...
Purdue University was awarded a $717,806 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program. The three-year award running from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026 will fund research to develop dry surface biofilm models of foodborne pathogens Cronobacter sakazakii, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella enterica. Purdue University will evaluate current sanitation...
This University of Massachusetts research project, funded by a $601,000 Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310), aims to improve the textural and sensorial attributes of plant-based meat alternatives. The project will utilize enzyme- and microorganism-mediated tenderization approaches, assisted by 3D simulations and mass transfer modeling, to enhance the tenderness and textural...
