Food Safety And Regulatory Measures

Ali Demirci teaching and research focus on Microbiological Engineering, which has two directions: i) Bioprocessing/ fermentation processes for productions of value-added products; ii) Inactivation/control of pathogenic microorganisms in foods and environment by novel non-thermal processing methods. He holds two U.S. patents and has authored numerous refereed journal article and book chapters. He made numerous presentations at regional, national, and international conferences. He is currently serving as the associate editor for Transactions of ASABE and have served on editorial boards of several peer-reviewed journals. He received his Ph.D. degree in Food Science and Technology with a minor in Chemical Engineering at Iowa State University in 1992. He began teaching in the Department of Food Engineering at University of Gaziantep, Turkey. Then, he worked as a Research Associate at Iowa State University until he joined to the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University in 1999.

Dr.ssa Sara Panseri PH.D- researcher - Department of Veterinary Sciences for Health, Animal Production and Food Safety - University of Milan – laboratory of inspection of food of animal origin

The activity and current research fields are oriented towards the development of analytical methods for the determination of molecules of interest for food of animal origin in order to make research lines in the field of food safety in compliance with current European regulations and related national transpositions regarding contaminants and residues (antibiotics, hormones and mycotoxins, pesticides and persistent organic contaminants) in foodstuffs of animal origin. In fact, these methods have been updated to support the inspection and certification of food of animal origin, risk analysis, traceability, applied to the production of food, in order to operate an effective control of food quality and prevention along the supply chain. compliance with Community and national regulations.
