Topic 2: New foods – Fostering innovations in food design, processing and supply via demand-and-supply reorientation
We are much interested to integrate our expertise in a consortium that works on design and processing of new food alternatives, valorisation of by products, food safety aspects and promotion of underutilized foods, etc.
We are a research institute that carries out studies in different fields related to olives in the process from field to table. We carry out projects in cooperation with research institutes, universities and the private sector. We are working on developing new products related to olive oil and table olives, finding solutions to problems and utilizing the by-products of production in different fields. In particular, we are working on developing new products using pomace, olive leaves and olive pits, using them as food ingredients and recovering valuable compounds. We have sufficient material and laboratory infrastructure with our olive orchards, olive oil and table olive production facilities in our institute. We are open to all kinds of cooperation.
