As part of the FODIAC project, I had a perfect time in Bioinicia, understanding how to scale up the encapsulation of bioactive by using electrodynamic processing. Thanks to this secondment, I also reinforced the institutional links between INL and Bioinicia, strengthening the collaborations in using the pilot electrospinning facilities at Bioinicia to [...]
My second secondment in SONAE within the frame of the H2020 project FODIAC envisioned the evaluation of our encapsulates produced by electrohydrodynamic technology in different food matrices. The studied food matrices were selected together with SONAE in a previous secondment developed in August 2018. Several encapsulates were designed accordingly and they were characterized [...]
I started my secondment in April 2022 at the Food Processing and Nutrition Group, at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), located in Braga (North of Portugal). Since my early stages of university studies, my professional career has always been focused on the research of micro and nanoencapsulation of bioactive compounds with application [...]
My last secondment as part of the FODIAC project took place at SONAE where I visited the warehouses and supermarkets. During that visit, we talked about the fruits that get discarded and their management after they leave the supermarket. We focused on the relevant fruits that could be suited for the FODIAC [...]
Bioinicia’s R&D member Maria Pardo went to work on encapsulation and characterization techniques for a month at the University of Minho in Portugal. For me, as my 2nd secondment under the frame of the Fodiac project, this time I focused on analysing as well as characterizing the encapsulated particles generated by EAPG, [...]
To be honest, I must say that the very first impression after arriving at Porto airport was a bit disappointing. I started my secondment in Spring, leaving my hometown on a very sunny day with very good weather next to the always pleasant Mediterranean coast in the east of Spain. I just [...]
From the 25th of October 2021 to the 25th of February 2022, my four-month secondment gave me the opportunity to have a fantastic and unique experience at BIOINICIA and live in Valencia. I was very excited to start this new adventure, as it is my first experience working abroad, and I have [...]
Which projects are currently on going? How will be the food of the future? How can it improve or way of live? What are FODIAC partners working on? Discover all these topics and more in the next webinars! Electrohydrodynamic Processing Maria Pardo and Cristina Prieto (Bioinicia S.L.) Electric Fields Processing Ricardo Pereira [...]
Bioinicia´s R&D member Jorge Teno Diaz spent two months at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Portugal within the frame of FODIAC. The INL allow me work in full equip lab where I had the opportunity to study and characterize the feasibility of encapsulated antioxidants, their stability and release profile. Thus, [...]
Bioinicia´s R&D members Maria Pardo and Alberto Chiva spent a month at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL)in Portugal within the frame of FODIAC. Within the frame of FODIAC project, the INL gave us the opportunity to work in a lab in which we could fully study and characterize the feasibility [...]
