We have successfully completed the project LYSOSENS: System for the determination of Lysozyme concentration in whey.
The aim of this project carried out in the framework of the European project S3FOOD, was to develop a prototype of an optical system that allows detecting the presence of lysozyme “at line”.
The final conclusion of the project is that it has been possible to create a system capable of measuring very low concentrations of lysozyme in whey and to do it quickly (approximately 5 minutes).
On the other hand, it is very important to highlight that the sensor has been able to directly measure the concentration of lysozyme dissolved in whey without any pre-treatment, which gives an idea of the high selectivity of the sensor. These promising results will allow us to further develop this first prototype into a commercial version of the sensor.
We would like to thank ASINCAR and Galacteum for their support.
