Knowledge and Innovation
www.azti.eswww.azti.es
The Food Research Division, comprised by 60 researchers and technicians, is currently working on three large areas:
Food Safety and Biodetection:
“Research for the detection and prevention of risks”
New Food Products and Biomolecules:
“Creating the foods of the future”
New Technologies:
“We innovate with emerging technologies for the Food Industry”
Our work is based on a global and integral vision of foodstuffs, “from fork to farm”, and the product, “as natural as possible”, while respecting the environment.

Food Safety and Biodetection:
New technologies, methods and design of detection systems for the control, identification and traceability of agricultural food products:
- Biosensors- Intelligent packaging - Molecular Biology Techniques
Models of validation that guarantee safety of new technologies and new foodstuffs
Prevention of food risks, by means of reducing and/or eliminating contaminant agents and allergens in foods.
–Emerging technologies for preservation–Predictive Microbiology –Techniques for prevention and elimination of contaminants.
Food Research
www.azti.eswww.azti.es
New Food Products and Biomolecules:
Development of formulations for the design of new food products (functional food, ready-meals, etc.) and biopolymer based edible films and coatings.
- Functional foods- Restructured foods- Ready-cooked meals- New formats and packaging- Edible films and coatings
Extraction and characterization of biomolecules from natural sources with added high value.
- Antioxidants- Antimicrobials- Dietetic fibres - Food proteins, enzymes and bioactive peptides- Fatty acids
Biomolecule modification and characterization for improvement of food quality and functionality.

New Technologies:
Preservation of new foodstuffs: Minimally processed, more natural, developing new treatments for stabilisation, aimed at the direct destruction or inhibition of spoilage agents found in foods in order to guarantee their shelf life.
Work on thermal preservation technologies:
- Vacuum pasteurisation- Commercial sterilization
Work on non-thermal preservation technologies:–Biopreservation –Active packaging –Modified atmosphere packaging –Light pulses –Freeze drying–Separating techniques: centrifugation, filtration, etc. –Combined technologies (hurdletech)–Cold plasma
Decontamination, in order to obtain safer food: We opt for emerging technologies and combined treatments that are more effective in the reduction and elimination of microbiological (i.e. virus, new emerging pathogens, …) and chemical risks (i.e. allergen reactivity, mycotoxins, pesticides, …) and at the same time, able to better preserve the sensory and nutritional qualities of the foodstuffs.
