Abstract:

Meat is one of the most important basic foodstuffs in human nutrition, being an important source of protein. World meat production is expected to double by 2050. Pigs red meat is consumed worldwide, representing about 36 % from world meat production. Romanians are important pork meat consumers, the annual mean quantity consumed per capita being around 36 kg. Pig breeding represents a traditional activity in Romania. The traceability of meat represents an important issue, due to the fact that it might poses a high influence on consumer perception about its quality. The scope of the project is to develop chemometric models to identify the differentiation best markers for the geographical origin, animal’s diet, and fatty acids profiles of Romanian investigated pork meat samples, in order to promote this food on unique market. Regarding the originality and novelty of Ro-MEAT-MARKERS project, so far, no official multi-isotopic analysis methods in the authentication of animal products exist. IRMS, as investigation method, will be corroborated with ICP-MS, GC-FID and chemometrics. We aim, also, to determine the fatty acids profile for Bazna pig versus those grown in intensive conditions, in order to promote Bazna pig indigenous race and its special characteristics. Besides recognized statistical treatments (like LDA), artificial neural networks (ANNs) will be used.

Abstract:

The purpose of the project is to expand the activity for exploring of waste recovery containing noble metals from the platinum group, by transferring and implementing their recovery technology from car catalysts or ceramic catalysts from the automotive, chemical, petrochemical industries, etc., on an existing of noble metal recovery technological line.

The main objective is to expand the recovery capacity of the noble metals in the platinum group from different catalysts in the automotive industry.

In order to achieve the proposed purpose, the following secondary objectives will be considered:

O1. Optimization of laboratory chemical technology

O2. Adaptation and transfer of laboratory technology to an existing technology line

O3. Optimization of the purification of the obtained noble metals
