The Foodomics research group, accessible at https://www.cial.uam-csic.es/pagperso/foodomics/index_en.html, provides its specialized knowledge in two primary fields related to the exploration of bioactive compounds within various biomass sources (such as plant-based, algae, microalgae, and residual materials from the agri-food sector):
1- The implementation of environmentally friendly extraction techniques, involving the advancement of extraction and separation processes utilizing subcritical and supercritical fluids alongside other sustainable solvents (both subcritical and supercritical fluids, eutectic solvents like DES and NADES, as well as biosolvents).
2- The comprehensive analysis of food components, focusing on their bioactivity (antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory...) and chemical composition through the utilization of MS/MS analysis and a metabolomic approach.

We possess extensive involvement in numerous European projects, further details of which can be accessed through our website.
The leader of our research group is Professor Alejandro Cifuentes a.cifuentes@csic.es, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7464-0217
We are fully prepared to collaborate within any consortium requiring our specialized skills and knowledge.
