Eureka! Institutional Repository

The ECOTROPHELIA competition is held every year on a pan-European basis, where teams of students from all over Europe are designing and manufacturing a new food with ecological features. At 2017 Alexandreio T.I. Of Thessaloniki, took part at it with a new, eco-friendly and healthy snack, Rodi 'n' Roll .A product low in Sodium and rich in nutritional values. The eco inovation of Rodi 'n' Roll, lies mostly at the fact that it is made of pomegranates seeds- which are the main byproduct of pomegranate juice industry, offering so a great alternative by transforming it to a nutritient consumable rather than dispose it. The purpose of this project is studying and analyzing a great portion of a HACCP research, for the suggested manufacturing unit of this innovative product, which must ensure the units compliance with the health and safety regulations and that the fnal product also complies with the latest EU food and safety regulations. Rodi 'n' Roll has been classified according to National regulations as a bakery product and more specific as a cookie. During HACCP application, a hazard analysis study has been written which determined that it is a medium risk product, and final product specifications have been setted. In accordance with the HACCP study, 5 critical control points (CCPs) were determined which are identified in the following production stages: 1. receipt of raw and packaging materials 2. storage and cooling of goods at ambient conditions 3. heat treatment (in kiln) and storage at ambient temperature. 4. Weigh – in 5. Final product packaging The prerequisite programs for the HACCP study appliance and the raw materials specifications, were described shortly while only some examples were explained further, like the maragarine specifications the whole weat flour specifications, the final product analytical cleaning program. By completing this research we believe that our manufacturing facility can ensure a quality and yet competitive product for the Greek and International markets.
