Spring 2016 – Electron beam (eBeam) applications in packaging materials and space food

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Shima Shayanfar
shimika@tamu.edu
Food Science & Technology
Faculty Mentor: Suresh Pillai, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
Summer 2016 (complete)
Team Size:
4 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
The candidates will have significant opportunity to be exposed to and develop competency in microbiology, food science and eBeam technology. Opportunities to develop scientific and technical writing skills. Individuals who make a substantial contribution to research projects will be considered for co-authorships on technical articles.
Team Needs:
Previous laboratory experience is a plus, and all science-related majors are invited to apply.
Description:
Electron beam is a non-thermal irradiation technology for ensuring safety and inactivating of microorganisms without compromising the quality. We would apply this technology in three phases within this study, Phase I: Understanding microbial metabolomic responses to irradiation in fresh produce. Phase II: immobilizing health beneficial phytochemicals on packaging materials. Phase III: Incorporating eBeam technology to develop the next generation of space foods for manned space missions.
