ACRONIM: NanoBIOPAT
ABSTRACT: Propunerea de proiect “Nanostructuri fitosintetizate de inalta performanta utilizate ca senzori pentru detectarea microorganismelor patogene din produse alimentare” are la baza o metoda moderna si "verde" de obtinere a nanostructurilor mono si bi-metalice (nanoparticule mono si bi-metalice de aur, argint si cupru) cu ajutorul unor extracte naturale obtinute din crucifere in vederea obtinerii unor senzori de inalta selectivitate si specificitate capabili sa detecteze microorganismele patogene din produsele alimentare. Noutatea absoluta a solutiilor propuse precum si rezultatele prevazute ne permit sa speram ca potentialii beneficiari (identificati in timpul proiectului) vor fi interesati sa preia si sa implementeze tehnologia, ducand la beneficii sociale si economice precum si la o contributie importanta la cresterea calitatii vietii. Formularea conceptului pentru produs (legat de obtinerea nanostructurilor mono si bi-metalice fitosintetizate si tehnologia (dezvoltarea senzorului pentru detectarea microorganismelor patogene din produse alimentare) vor fi baza dezvoltarii proiectului. In acest proiect se vor realiza caracterizari analitice si expérimentale ale produsului si tehnologiei care va fi dezvoltata (obtinerea nanostructurilor inovative -TRL3), proiectul se va finaliza cu validarea tehnologiei propuse la nivel de laborator pe baza analizelor realizate de laboratoarele unor terti (TRL 4). Dupa perioada de implementare a proiectului si a protejarii tehnologiei prin depunerea de cerere de brevet, scopul consortiului vizeaza realizarea prototipului la scara larga si demonstrarea functionalitatii solutiilor propuse in sistemele de viata reala (TRL 6).
OBIECTIVUL PROIECTULUI Tehnologiile „curate” care utilizeaza principiile chimiei verzi au atras atenția oamenilor de stiinta in ultimul deceniu. In acest context, obiectivul general al proiectului este reprezentat de dezvoltarea unei tehnologii pentru fitosinteza nanomaterialelor metalice, folosind extracte din deseuri provenite de la culturi de crucifere (varza, broccoli, nap, ridiche etc.) cu aplicare ca platforma de detectare pentru agenții patogeni microbieni din matricile alimentare (carne, fructe, produse lactate). Prin aplicarea acestei metode pentru obtinerea nanostructurilor din deseurile plantelor este evidentiata importanța minimizarii si reutilizarii reziduurilor din prelucrarea primara si secundara prin interventie chimica si sociala, pentru a contribui la nevoile de durabilitate ale planetei si ale locuitorilor sai. De asemenea, va fi îmbunatatita calitatea agroalimentara prin sisteme performante si ecologice de detectare a diferitilor agenti patogeni care modifica matricile alimentare si le transformă mai rapid în deseuri alimentare. Prin acest proiect va fi asigurată o economie mai circulara; valorizarea si mentinerea resurselor noastre in circulatie si aplicarea ierarhiei resurselor (deseurilor).

PROJECT TITLE: High performance phytosynthesized nanostructures as biosensor platforms for detecting pathogenic microorganisms from food matrixes
ACRONYM: NanoBIOPAT
ABSTRACT: Present project proposal “High performance phytosynthesized nanostructures as biosensor platforms for detecting pathogenic microorganism from food matrixes” is based on a modern and “green” method of obtaining mono and bi metallic nanostructures (mono and bimetallic gold, silver copper nanoparticles) with the help of natural extracts from cruciferous vegetables, to obtain sensing platforms with high selectivity and specificity able to detect microbial pathogens from food matrixes. The absolute novelty of the proposed solutions and the foreseen results allows us to hope that potential stakeholders (identified during the project) will be eager to take over and implement these technologies, leading to social and economic benefits, together with an important contribution to the increase of life quality. The formulated concept of the product (related to the obtaining of mono and bimetallic phytosinthesized nanostructures) and the technology (the development of the sensing platform for detecting pathogenic microorganism from food matrixes) will be the basis of the project development. In the project will take place the analytical and experimental characterization of the product and technology that will be developed (referring to the obtaining of innovative nanostructures - TRL 3), the project being finished with the validation of the proposed technologies at laboratory scale, through analyses performed via third-parties laboratories (TRL 4). After the project implementation period and protection of the technologies through patents, the consortium aims at large scale prototypes and demonstration of the functionality of the proposed solutions in real-life systems (TRL 6).
MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT Clean technologies using the principles of green chemistry have attracted the attention of scientists in the last decade. In this context, the general objective of the project is represented by the development of a technology for the phytosynthesis of metallic nanomaterials, using extracts from cruciferous crops waste (cabbage, broccoli, turnip, radish, etc.) with application as a sensing platform for the detection of microbial pathogens from food matrixes (meat, fruits, dairy products). Applying this method to obtain nanostructures with plants waste is highlighted the importance of minimising and re-utilising residues from primary and secondary processing via chemical and social intervention, in order to contribute to the sustainability needs of the planet and its inhabitants. Also, will be enhanced agro food quality through performant and eco-friendly detecting systems for different pathogens which alter food matrixes and transform them more rapidly into food wastes. Through this project will be provided a more circular economy; valuing and keeping our resources in circulation and applying the resource (waste) hierarchy.
