WP4: Development of innovative analytical tools for rapid quality assessment and husbandry system authentication

(led by UNIPD, Italy) aims to develop innovative and cost-efficient analytical tools (infrared and untargeted metabolomics and genomics) applied on products and combining different tools for the rapid and ost-efficient prediction of intrinsic quality traits and authentication of husbandry systems and animal genotype across countries. For both authentication and prediction tools, existing databases and newly acquired data in WP2 and WP3 will be used. The development of uthentication and predicting equations based on chemometric analysis will consist in linking/pair reference analyses with cost-efficient analytical tools obtained with at-line and on-line laboratory and pocket instruments.
