Abstract

Food safety challenges are present in modern life in many ways. The whole supply chain from harvesting, processing, storage and reaching consumers are full of contaminations possibilities. The problem causes a significant food los and waste. It is estimated today that about 30 % of the produced food never gets to the people. Besides that fact, we have today many examples of fresh food contamination like meet, chicken and fish, putting in risk the consumers. To control, in part, the situation, the abusive use of toxic substances, antibiotics and excess of acid water has been used causing a server for health and for environment. In this presentation we shall discuss the challenges ahead in this area and how photo reaction and photodynamic reactions are able to help to minimize the problems. Examples of project for fresh vegetables decontamination as well as for meat will be described in this presentation. The discussion about modification of food tast, composition or other characteristics will be presented as well as a study of the dynamic involving microorganism inactivation. Work supported by FAPESP, CNPq and CAPES – all Brazilian agencies.
