We offer to the industry a dynamic alternative in the field of R&D+i. Our experience in the development of different processes and the technology implied allows us to offer solutions to various sectors, such as the agro-food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, petrochemical, and biotechnological.

Development of extraction systems for natural products

Application of new technologies for extraction and isolation of natural products with biological activity from agro-food waste, using leaching, supercritical fluid extraction, striping, and other techniques.

Development of systems for fractioning and stabilization of natural products

Systems for purification, separation, and stabilization of natural extracts, by fractioning on a resin, spray drying, selective extraction, and cross-flow filtration.

Revaluation of agro-food waste

Application of biotechnological processes to agro-food waste for obtaining products with high added value.

Development of processes for obtaining biofuels

Processes for the manufacture of biofuels from waste and energy crops. New fermentation techniques and innovative processes in a supercritical medium.

Design of industrial processes

Design and implementation of processes (or processes steps) in various sectors (e.g. dairy, pastry, automotive, and wood sectors).

Design and construction of pilot plants and prototypes

Currently, the area counts with pilot plants of supercritical fluid extraction, hydrolysis reactors, ultrafiltration, bireactors, and a multipurpose pilot plant, which are all used for the optimization of study processes.

Development of new functional products

Creation of foods that provide nutrients and beneficial effects to certain body functions, granting health and well-being.

Study and control of the winemaking process

Optimization of the processes of vinification, aging, and bottling of wines, derived beverages, and distilled spirits.

Application of near-infrared technology to the process and product control

Development and calibration of NIR equipments for the quality control in the agro-food industry.

Systems for food packing and preservation

Studies on increasing food lifespan, by applying a wide range of techniques.

Study and monitoring of the quality of meat products

Physical-chemical, sensory, and microbiological characterization of fresh and meat products.

Revaluation of agro-food waste and obtaining by-products

Reducing effluents and their environmental impact by their management (composting, new products).
