Pilot Plant for Valorization of Fruit, Vine, and Olive By-products
biomass
Extraction
Transformations Chemoenzymatic transformations

Description
Valorization studies of discarded fruit, fruit pits, pomace, and pulp, evaluating cascading processes, to add value to these materials in the production of bioplastics, textile fibers, exfoliating oils, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antihypertensives, anti-inflammatories, and natural preservatives. Scaling up to 50 L of sustainable extraction processes and/or physicochemical-enzymatic transformations (hydrolysis, condensation, substitution, crystallization, distillation...).
