Development, Valorisation and Innovation of Fishery Products (INNOVAFISH)

The group is made up of two research professors, one scientific researcher, four tenured scientists, and staff in training to complete doctoral theses, Master's Thesis, and Bachelor's Thesis, or to enjoy the following: JE Intro, Jae ICU, Youth Guarantee, among others. Sharing the limited technical staff available (one technician for seven researchers) is a major weakness, and hinders the execution of the experimental phase and the organization of the laboratories. The scientific research activities are related to: Valorisation of waste to obtain functional and bioactive materials. Use of underused or discarded fish species with a view to a circular economy. Functional evaluation of ingredients. Development and preservation of functional and convenience fish products. Use of technologies that improve the quality and safety of fish products. Edible coatings, active and biodegradable packaging materials.
