Οι Food Detectives: φορητό τεστ DNA αποκαλύπτει νοθευμένο ελαιόλαδο
Οι κορυφαίοι ειδικοί ασφάλειας τροφίμων της Ευρώπης ενώνουν δυνάμεις κατά της απάτης. Το Euronews τους ακολουθεί στη σειρά «The Food Detectives». Στο έκτο επεισόδιο, ομάδα στην Ιταλία καταπολεμά τη νοθεία ελαιολάδου με φορητό τεστ DNA.
Σε συνεργασία με the European Union & the Watson Project
01:29Abbiamo scelto di far analizzare i nostri oli nel DNA per creare più trasparenza, più fiducia con i nostri consumatori.
01:40Molti produttori fanno marketing con foto di alberi millenari, ma alla fine non si tratta di olio di questi alberi.
01:50E noi, per renderci credibili, abbiamo questa certificazione.
01:54Perché è una certezza che in più diamo ai nostri consumatori.
02:00Such genetic testing is still very rare among olive oil producers, as it takes time and money.
02:11Until today, it's only been done in research labs.
02:16But the food detectives are now bringing the lab directly to the mill.
02:20Release our DNA.
02:21Greek biotech experts Stelios Arhandakis and Sophia Tsikaraki are developing a solution to make DNA testing more accessible and easier to carry out.
02:31We just opened the door for the first time in the world to do a DNA testing of an olive oil outside of a lab.
02:41We are introducing a device called field DNA.
02:45This device allows to isolate DNA from an olive oil sample in field conditions.
02:54So that's it. We are ready to analyze our DNA.
03:00The food detectives' portable DNA kit still needs refining, but it's on the right track.
03:07The development of a technology is always a challenge because you need to validate, you need to test it, you need to optimize until you reach a good performance.
03:17And be sure that you have something that is solid.
03:20It is a path that we are under, now we are investigating, hopefully to be able to launch this product within the next month, year.
03:33Producers, millers and packagers across Umbria welcome the innovation.
03:37It's the base, it's what can help us companies, us olive oil farmers, to protect the territory and the product that we do.
03:48To have an analysis that guarantees that that product comes from that plant is the most beautiful thing that we can do.
03:55The Watson project gives us clarity, clarity and the final consumer is asking and looking for it more.
04:03Following the DNA tests, the food detectives are taking traceability one step further, by giving each bottle a digital passport too.
04:12Tutti i dati che durante la catena di produzione dell'olio oliva vengono raccolti sono assicurati all'interno della blockchain,
04:20ma vengono resi accessibili al consumatore, il quale potrà accedere molto facilmente tramite Aquair Code
04:28a tutta la storia dell'olio, a partire dal campo dove le olive sono state prodotte, fino all'otto e al numero della bottiglia che ha acquistato.
04:38That's it for this episode of The Food Detectives.
