Research fields

EBIOTEFA Research Centre focuses its research activities on food developed by pursuing the principles of eco-biotechnologies, i.e. sanogenous, innovative foods (functional, nutraceutical foods, supplements, etc.), composite foods (originating in classical or excellence cuisine). Thus, we revalue biodiversity, particularly vegetal biodiversity, building not only on biological and biotechnical methods but also on traditional non-polluting and non-destructive technological processes in the agri-food sector.

Infrastructure

The research centre provides equipment that allows researchers to conduct physical-chemical analyses required to prototype innovative foods as well as equipment that enables the research community to expand investigation in the field of food safety. The research aiming at optimizing and innovating technical systems in the agri-food sector is carried out on experimental stands interconnected with measurement and control instrumentation.
