The CAFFRE mission is to serve as a catalyst for research and development of novel functional foods and components that will enhance health and quality of life for people of all ages.
TOMATOES FOR PROSTATE HEALTH
Developed a high lycopene tomato juice fortified with soy isoflavones.
Began with growing special high lycopene tomatoes, developed the functional beverage, evaluated the bioavailability of the compounds, and examined theacceptability of theproduct in the market.
Effect on prostatecancer currently beingevaluated in a humanclinical study.
BLACK RASPBERRIES STUDIED TO PREVENT GASTROINTESTINAL CANCERS
Berries influence prevention of oral, esophageal, and colon cancers.
Products developed from freeze-dried black raspberries.
Ongoing clinical study to evaluate the effect of a lozenge on oralcancer recurrence.

• A small fraction of market eggs contains the bacterium Salmonella
• Salmonella causes a major food-transmitted disease called salmonellosis
• The government set a goal to achieve Salmonella-free eggs by 2010, but the needed technology is not currently available.
OSU egg decontamination
process using ozoneEgg decontamination by OSU process
• Using ozone as a powerful sanitizer, OSU researchers developed the technology to produce safe and fresh eggs.
• The new process should be in production lines be the end of the year.

Satisfy consumer demand for “fresh like” foods with minimum use of preservatives
Pressure pasteurized products are commercially available Juices, fruit snack, ham, oysters, jam, guacamole, poultry, chopped onion,
sliced meat
Shelf-stable foods are not yet commercializedMashed potato, eggs, pasta, whole-muscle meats, coffee, tea
