InoBioProd: innovation challenges and scientific perspectives

Abstract

Agrofood industrial wests and byproducts are used as a source of bioactive copounds. At the same time goat milk, indigenous lactic acid bacteria and fermented milk products with high biological properties are main objects of research. Project intends application of standard and innovative methods and processes. Results and discussion. The scientific results, in particular the expected technologies are absolutely innovative for the Republic of Moldova and are in the framework of the UNICEF recommendations for food and nutrition policy. InoBioProd contribues to the development of investigations in the field of food biotechnology, engineering technology, food chemistry and microbiology, offering a high potential for application: innovative methods for manufacturing of bioactive compounds from local food sources; chemical composition and functional potential of the bioactive compounds; characteristics of goat milk; isolation and identification of lactic acid bacteria from dairy products of spontaneous fermentation; symbiotic indigenous cultures of lactic acid bacteria; justified scientific manufacturing processes and recipes for fermented dairy products from goat milk and scientific development of methods for evaluation of the self-life of designed fermented dairy products. Special attention of InoBioProd gives to the elaboration of BSc, MSc and PhD thesis, dissemination of scientific results at national and international levels.
