NovelQ is an Integrated Project, contract no. FOOD-CT-2005-015710 funded by the European Commission, within the sixth Framework Programme, priority Food Quality and Safety. The main objective is to develop and successfully demonstrate - eco-friendly - novel processing technologies (high pressure processing, pulsed electric field processing, plasma, advanced heating technologies and packaging) for improved quality (fresh-like character, extended shelf-life) food. The project has started on 1 March 2006 and has a duration of 5 years. It has a total funding of 10.9 million Euro.
