Research Activity (Link)

  • Development and characterization of biodegradable films using biopolymers, either recovered from agro-industrial co-products, or produced by fermentation processes. Preparation of films with enhanced water resistance. Study of their application in packaging (including active packaging for food products).
  • Bioactive edible coatings for food products.
  • Recovery of bioactive compounds from industrial co-products and renewable resources, and their stabilization for food applications.
  • Encapsulation of bioactive functional compounds and release studies in real food systems.
  • Healthy food products development.
  • Screening of the applications of microbial biopolymers (as films, hydrogels, microparticles), namely the applications of new exopolysaccharides produced from glycerol-rich product from biodiesel industries. Rheology.
  • Membrane separation processes.
