Publications

We design and carry out original studies concerning the food and environmental industries with the ultimate goal of providing integrated and targeted solutions to them. Main objectives of our studies include:

• Food production and waste treatment processes
• Recovery of valuable compounds
• Functional foods production
• Re-use of brackish water
• Alcoholic fermentations using modern biotechnological methods, etc.

Scientific books

Through the Food Waste Recovery Group, we support the editing of scientific books in the field of food science, technology and innovation, nutrition, and the environment.
