In the last decades, the awareness of consumers about the relationship between food and health is increasing as a result of the marketing of food products with health claims, the so-called functional foods. These can be defined as “foods or ingredients of foods that provide an additional physiological benefit beyond their basic nutrition”. Low energy

The EU-funded RADOV project aims to use high-energy radiation from electron accelerators to produce bioactive peptides derived from egg proteins. Using electron beam irradiation, it will design and develop two new products containing bioactive proteins/peptides. This will be done to broaden the applications of ionizing radiation and to demonstrate the wide range of its uses.
A bilateral project between Portugal and Tunisia (Institut Supérieur de Biotechnologie de Sidi Thabet, Université de La Mannouba) focuses on the effects of conventional and non-conventional strawberries processing on their microbial, sensorial and nutritional properties and also their antioxidants profiles and bioactive properties (antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial). This study will contribute to the body of knowledge
