AREA OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST

Microbiological safety of food and animal feed, through the “farm to fork” concept and risk assessment of pathogenic microorganisms for human health through the LISA concept. Creation of generic models for prerequisite programs (GMP/GHP) and HACCP plans in the meat industry. Food and feed microbiology, rapid methods for detection of pathogens, risk assessment of pathogenic microorganisms (E. coli O157, Yersinia, Salmonella, Staph aureus).

Development, validation, verification and application of methods in microbiological work in order to examine microbiological, mycological and mycotoxicological contamination of food and animal feed, assessment of residues, histamine, contaminants originating from the environment, the impact of nutrition on health and quality, with the application of European and national regulations.
