IPS, School of Agriculture is a higher education institution with a strong dedication to Agronomy and Food Science, with two research centers CERNAS and CIEQV.
Algae, by-products, food industry, valorization.
I came across the PRIMA Topic 1.3.1-2026 call on sustainable on-site transformation of perishable agri-food products and I am very interested in contributing to a proposal.
I am a Researcher and Professor at the Santarém Polytechnic University (Portugal), working on food innovation, with a strong focus on:
– fermentation and stabilization of plant-based matrices,
– incorporation of algae as functional ingredients,
– nutritional and bioactive characterization of food products.
I believe I could contribute particularly to:
– development of value-added products from perishable raw materials,
– shelf-life extension strategies,
– analytical validation (nutritional, volatile, antioxidant, quality parameters).
I would be very interested to know if you are currently building a consortium or if there is an opportunity to collaborate.
Best regards,
