SEA PROCESS PROCESSING RESEARCH PROGRAM

Research Lines

Bioprocesses in Food: Aimed at the development of projects related to biotechnological conversion, as well as of hydrobiological resources, such as residues and regional bioindustrial subproducts, by studying biomass production processes, enzymes and other compounds.

Characterization of Agriculture and Livestock Resources: Aimed at the study of physical, chemical, microbiological and sensorial properties and methodologies, which can be applied in different quality aspects during food production, commerce and storage in the southern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).

Valuation of Hydrobiological Resources: Aimed at the development of projects to provide alternative ways to implement the use of fish and other hydrobiological resourcesin order to add value to raw materials and to residues of conventional industry.
