Focuses on innovation in the agro-industrial system for the development and competitiveness of food production in terms of quality, safety and sustainability, encouraging chain approaches, through agro-industrial and/or territory clusters.
Promotes the development of products (food and non-food) with high-added value and high technological value derived from biological resources.
Develops methods and technologies for innovation and traceability of the production, supply, processing and marketing chains of agricultural and food products in a perspective of enhancing consumer confidence in the foodchain.

All activities are performed through innovative infrastructures, equipment, facilities, and technology/service
platforms, located in three different laboratories:
Biotechnology and Agroindustry Division activities
Innovative biotechnology products and processes and systems for Bioeconomy
• “Omic” sciences and new breeding techniques in Mediterranean crops
• Conservation, characterization and evaluation of existing biological collections including microrganismsf or industrial purposes (food and biotechnology)
• Enhancement of waste and agro-industrial by-products, into high added-value products (innovative food, feed, materials and bio-based products) and focusing on the resources efficient use, use of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), industrial biotechnology (White Biotechnologies) and Process Technologies (with a special focus on Mild Technologies), for agroindustry and bio-industry
Systems for sustinable quality safety of Agroindustrial productions
• Conservative and precision agriculture for
sustainability and phytosanitary measures for crop
protection. Agriculture-based models, to improve
the resilience to climate change and to promote
reduction of inputs and greenhouse gas emissions
• Precision indoor farming and agrospace
• Use of renewable sources and improvement of
the food system throughout a cascade-type
approach, planning for maximal biomass
exploitation and agri-food waste and for reducing
food losses.
• Validation and application of diagnostic methods
for food safety, qualification of the productions
,processing, preservation and packaging. Quality
markers for authenticity and origin of foods

"Bioproducts and Bioprocesses" Laboratory (PROBIO)
5 Bioprocesses– Meeting Ambasciata Italiana in Mexico, Bilateral Project, November2017
Aims to develop innovative products and processes in food and no-food areas
through the use of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs). Special attention is devoted to
developing industrial biotechnologies (White Biotechnologies) and Mild Technologies,
in agroindustry and bio-industry areas.
The activities are: to detection, at different levels of scale, of
innovative and sustainable productive solutions, able to
obtain a wide range of products /processes bio-based, with
high added value of interest for new markets. The
approaches allows the valorization of biological resources
use, vegetables matrices, by-products and waste.
The Laboratory combines expertise on valorization of vegetables, animal and microbial resources (agronomy,
microbiology, entomology, chemistry, veterinary, environmental sciences), industrial biotechnology, chemical
engineering, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), biochemistry.
