The Bioprocess Laboratory is primarily dedicated to valorizing agro-industrial waste and residues to create high-value products, especially targeted towards the food industry (pigments, antioxidants, organic acids, prebiotics, enzymes, etc.), and the development of new textile biomaterials as alternatives to animal leathers and synthetics.

Our work focuses on designing fermentative processes that reuse residual biomasses generated by local agro-industries. We concentrate on studying and optimizing the variables involved in obtaining, purifying, and characterizing these specific molecules.

Furthermore, our goal is to use the generated knowledge to provide consultancy, services, and technological transfer to various stakeholders in the regional agro-industrial production chain. This approach aims to enhance resource utilization, add value, and reduce the environmental impact associated with these activities
