The Institute of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition (ICTAN) is a Research Centre of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) based in Madrid.
The main objective of ICTAN is to carry out innovative and quality scientific and technological research to produce, package and preserve safe and healthy foods that meet society’s current demands regarding sustainability, and their effect on the population’s nutrition and health. All this by establishing scientific evidence on the physiological effects of food, its constituents and by-products on health and disease prevention. These characteristics make ICTAN a benchmark research centre for establishing collaborations with national and international research groups, training students and new professionals and transferring the knowledge acquired to industry and society. - Topic 1.3.1-2024 (IA) – Developing cost-effective and sustainable technologies adapted to Mediterranean Food Systems to decrease food loss and waste.
