Solveig Langsrud
PhD
Senior Scientist
I am a food microbiologist investigating how some bacteria and bacterial communities survive, adapt and affect food safety and quality. The overall aim of my research is to control the microbiota in the environment and food. Currently, I am coordinating an EU project, MICROORC, where we investigate the role of hygiene and storage conditions on the shelf life of perishable foods. We use this knowledge to develop solutions that predict and enhance the shelf life, aiming to reduce waste. Another main research interest is Listeria monocytogenes and how to control this pathogen in the food processing environment.
At present, my main research activities are: 1. Improved tools and information strategies to help consumers mitigate risk of foodborne illness (www.safeconsume.eu) 2. Listeria monocytogenes persistence and spread in the food production chain 3. Microbiota in food production/preparation environments and how it affects food quality and safety 4. Survival strategies of different pathogenic bacteria exposed to cleaning and disinfection, in particular biofilm formation and other resistance mechanisms
