Microbiology and hygiene

RISE offers a deep, theoretical and practical, knowledge in microbiology and hygiene. Together with your company or organization, we prevent and solve microbiological problems. We also participate with our microbiological expertise in a number of national and international research and innovation projects.

Microbiological issues occur in different ways in a number of industries.  It can be about microbiology that creates added value, such as in fermentation or in probiotics, or that the microorganisms in different ways create problems. We have extensive experience in addressing and solving these microbiological issues related to industries such as food, hygiene, healthcare, pulp/paper, paint and other process industries.

 

RISE offers, among other things, the following in microbiology:

Microbiological sustainability and safety:

• Microbiological risk assessment and Prognos microbiology

• Shelf life tests / Challenge trials

• Evaluation of the efficacy of preservatives

• Evaluation and optimizing of food packaging

• Microbiological considerations  in product development

• Possibilities with fermentation

 

Hygiene in production processes:

• Routes of contamination / Trouble shooting / Action plans

• Water as food and i process

• Prevention and characterization of biofilm

• Evaluation of cleanability of materials and equipment

Education - Recurring and customized
