Topic 1: Domestic food practices for enhancing sustainable and healthy diets
The Polyphenol Research Group (University of Barcelona – INSA) has more than 25 years of experience in the study of polyphenols and other natural antioxidants, including their biotransformation, metabolism, and impact on cardiometabolic health, ageing, oxidative stress, and microbiome interactions.
The group offers strong scientific and technical expertise for participation in FutureFoodS, as well as other EU and international collaborative projects. Their capabilities include:
Characterization of bioactive compounds in foods, ingredients and by-products
Advanced metabolomics (LC-MS/MS) and integrated foodomics
Development of nutritional biomarkers and AI-ready metabolomic datasets
Expertise in microbiota-derived metabolites and mechanisms of action
Evaluation of the health effects of ingredients, dietary patterns, and sustainable food interventions
Experience collaborating with industry on ingredient validation, bioactive profiling, and the upcycling of polyphenol-rich waste streams
The group is seeking partners preparing proposals in sustainable food systems, metabolism & microbiome interactions, circular ingredients, food functionality, precision nutrition, and health-related assessment of bioactive compounds.
They can contribute to:
Food characterization and authentication
Phenolic profiling and quantification
Metabolomic pipelines and biomarker discovery
Human or preclinical studies evaluating health-relevant effects of sustainable ingredients
Integration of bioactive compound data with AI, modelling, and systems biology approaches
The group is highly flexible and can join multidisciplinary consortia working at the interface of sustainability, food innovation, and health outcomes.
