ADVANCING FLAVOUR RESEARCH
Protein science for a healthier and sustainable future.
LIFE IS SO MUCH ABOUT FOOD
BIOactive compounds & PROTeins
A powerful partnership for optimal health
BIOPROTLab develops innovative research on plant proteins, flavour perception and food functionality to support healthier and more sustainable food systems.
OUR RESEARCH
BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS
We investigate the extraction, characterization and application of bioactive compounds from natural sources to improve food functionality, nutritional value and human health.
PLANT-BASED PROTEINS
Our research focuses on sustainable protein sources, improving their functionality, sensory properties and incorporation into innovative food products.
SENSORY AND FLAVOUR SCIENCE
We study flavour perception, taste interactions and consumer acceptance to develop healthier and more appealing food products.
FOOD INNOVATION AND HEALTH
Combining food chemistry, nutrition, biotechnology, and human studies we develop innovative solutions that contribute to healthier and more sustainable food systems.
