Objectives
The overall objective of the Concerted Action was to assist the food industry by supplying data on physical properties of foods. This involves:
- forming a Network of scientists and industrialists who are interested in measuring and using data on the physical properties of foods.
- constructing the Database of Physical Properties of Foods
- making the Network a continuous means of collecting data for the Database.
More specifically, these broad objectives had the following sub-objectives:
- To create a computerised database of physical properties of foods, accessible particularly by the European food industry.
- To collect reliable and useful data on physical properties of foods for inclusion in the Database.
- To increase the involvement of the food industry in the project.
- To establish links between Universities, publicly funded research institutes, the food industry and others interested in the project.
- To seek ways of promoting and exploiting the database within and outside the EU.
- To explore the possibilities for further development of the database beyond the life of this project (generating proposals for such development, seeking industrial and other support).
