| Project Mission |
Develop a computer model needed for a new break-through
food processing method. |
| Funding Sources |
IMPACT Seed Grant (Year 1) |
| Student Assisting with Project |
|
| Background: WSU is leading the
world in a developing a new food processing method that uses
radio frequencies and microwaves. This method could lead to
new products including shelf-stable salmon, and could open up
millions of dollars in new markets for a range of high quality
products including fish, meat, and pasta products. |
| Progress in 2003/2004: Developed
preliminary stages of a computer model that would enable testing
of the new process in a virtual system. By analyzing different
design and process options to optimize the system design on
a WSU-designed computer model, millions of dollars and decades
of times are saved in developing this new technology. |
| Next Steps: Develop the model
to the point where it produces reliable, stable results that
will be critical for FDA approval for this method. Ultimately,
the goal of the project is to develop the concept and to obtain
necessary approval for this new processing method to be implemented
by the food processing industry, opening the way for new products
at home and globally. |
