The Frisbee project is a European Union funded 4-year Project to provide new tools, concepts and solutions for improving refrigeration technologies along the European food cold chain.

The objective of the FRISBEE (Food Refrigeration Innovations for Safety, consumers Benefit, Environmental impact and Energy optimisation along the cold chain in Europe) project is to provide new tools, concepts and solutions for improving refrigeration technologies along the European food cold chain. At all stages the needs of consumer and European industry will be considered.

The project will develop new innovative mathematical modelling tools that combine food quality and safety together with energy, environmental and economic aspects to predict and control food quality and safety in the cold chain.

The FRISBEE project (http://www.frisbee-project.eu) has developed a comprehensive database of the cold chain in Europe in order to identify refrigeration needs and available current technologies in the food industry, and investigate consumer needs and expectations with respect to the food cold chain.

Anyone can join the database and take advantage of the ColdBase.
