Presentation of the project "Valorization of Apple Pomace, oligosaccharides with prebiotic activity" in Transfer and Innovation in Euskadi

Our colleague Professor and researcher Maria González Alriols presents the research project "Valorization of Apple Pomace, oligosaccharides with prebiotic activity" in the second edition of the conference "Food transfer and innovation in Euskadi", which will be held on February 23, 2024 in Gasteiz (Miñano).

The Department of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment of the Basque Government continues to work on the dissemination of innovative projects in the field of food. The day will be divided into three challenges: Ingredients and safe foods, Ingredients and new sources, and Personalized nutrition, which will feature the participation of experts in the field.

Special Issues

Special Issue in Molecules "Biochemical Engineering Journal"

Executive Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Eulogio Castro Galiano, University of Jaén
Guest Editors: Dr. Jalel Labidi, University of Basque Country, Dr. Ángel Galán Martín, University of Jaén
Message from guest editors: Dear colleges, Biorefineries provide a wide range of chemicals, materials, biofuels, and energy obtained from biomass resources. These value-added bio-based products can displace their fossil-based counterparts while creating new business opportunities for regional growth, paving the way towards a circular bio-economy development model.
This SI will focus on areas such as:
1) Lab-scale and industrial developments
2) Biochemical, hybrid biochemical-chemical, thermochemical, and chemomechanical platforms
3) Sutainability assessment of biorefineries, process design, techno-economic and environmental aspects
4) Innovative biomass fractionation and conversion processes
5) Circular production of bio-based chemicals, polymers and materials

Noticia espumas

Polyols from renewable resources for isolation applications

ISOLEGUR es un proyecto de bioeconomía liderado por la Asociación de la Madera de Euskadi, Baskegur, con el objetivo de lograr a medio y largo plazo que se puedan producir espumas aislantes procedentes de materias primas sostenibles y renovables, como es el caso de la madera. Así, el subproducto que generan las empresas de aserrado puede tener un valor adicional y ser utilizado en procesos constructivos en los que prime la importancia de usar materiales ecoeficientes y ecosostenibles.

Gracias al proyecto subvencionado por el Gobierno Vasco (Departamento de Desarrollo Económico Sostenibilidad y Medio Ambiente), el grupo de investigación BiORP en colaboración con Ebaki, Isovas, Baskegur y Ma+D, está llevando a cabo el aprovechamiento de un residuo derivado de la madera, el serrín, para la obtención de polioles que permita el desarrollo de nuevos materiales como espumas y aislantes más respetuosos con el medio ambiente
