Welcome to the dynamic community of the UCP Food Processing and Engineering group at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, led by Prof. Cristina L.M. Silva.
Our team brings a wealth of expertise to the forefront of food processing and engineering.
Our research objectives encompass:
• Exploring novel green processing methods to reduce the environmental footprint of food processing, while creating healthful and nutritious products with extended shelf life, tailored to consumers' preferences and attitudes.
• Pursuing the valorization of agro-food by-products and algae for food applications, promoting sustainability through the development of novel formulations of natural biofilms and edible coatings.
• Designing innovative uses for by-products and supply-chain configurations, with a focus on fostering a circular economy within the biophysical boundaries of our planet.
• Conducting consumer studies on more sustainable food products.
• Contributing to the transition from carbon-based to renewable energy sources for food processing sustainability and addressing climate change mitigation, including exploring solar cooking methods.
• Utilizing image processing and artificial intelligence to optimize the management of fresh food supply chains.
• Implementing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) capabilities for application to food packaging systems.
• Developing improved packaging systems based on cellulose for enhanced sustainability.
We invite you to join us as we introduce cutting-edge research that shapes the landscape of food processing and engineering.
