Research

• Design biorefining processes of agroforestry biomass, industrial products and macroalgae to extract and purify composites and fractions with biological activity.
• Development of new extraction processes based on the utilisation of subcritical water and supercritical carbon dioxide, as well as intensification with ultrasounds and microwaves.
• Usage of ultra and nanofiltration membrane technologies to recover, concentrate and fraction bioactives.
• Biological (in vitro and prebiotic antioxidant activities) and functional (rheological properties) characterisation.
