Protein is a basic part of healthy nutrition
Within the area of healthy food, TECNALIA works on the collection of natural ingredients to improve the nutrition and health of people.
The food industry is facing the need to develop an environmentally sustainable production of alternative sources of protein, which are essential to ensure a healthy and balanced nutrition.
The main lines of research in the field of nutrition focus on seeking solutions from new sources of protein; although all of them must guarantee the sustainability of the food chain through more efficient and sustainable processes.
Protein fraction encapsulation processes
At TECNALIA we collaborate with the CRESCERE initiative to research encapsulation processes of protein fractions, by microencapsulation capillary vibration technologies, and the relevant in vitro studies on gastrointestinal simulation and bioavailability for protein fractions and/or encapsulations.
