Fuzzy Traceability: A Process Simulation Derived Extension of the Traceability Concept in Continuous Food Processing

Food Safety Traceability

NFC-Based Traceability in the Food Chain

In recent years, many events related to food and public health, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease), dioxin, bird flu and swine flu, brought the issue of food security to the center of international attention. Many countries established strict rules to ensure the food traceability “from farm to fork” to meet the demand of consumer safety and to ensu...

Traceability, Inspection, and Food Safety

Traceability exists in many food supply chains for valid economic reasons, one of which is improving food safety and quality. Some politicians and consumer groups are calling for increased identity preservation in systems where traceability has not yet been adopted. In this paper, we explore the implications of adding traceability to a food supply chain that already includes an inspection proto...

Molecular Markers for Food Traceability

DNA analysis with molecular markers has opened a way to understand complex organism's genome. It is presently being widely applied across different fields, where food takes a preeminent position. Constant outbreaks of foodborne illnesses are increasing consumer's attention towards more detailed information related to what they are consuming. This overview reports on the areas where food traceab...

On the Traceability of the Compositional Process

Composition is viewed as a process that has its own temporal dimension. This process can sometimes be highly non-linear, sometimes is carried out in realtime during a performance. A model is proposed that unifies the creational and the performance time and that traces the history of the creation of a piece. This model is based on a transformation that enhances data structures to become persiste...
