Understanding, evaluating, and demonstrating the mechanism of action of functional ingredients is essential for companies in the sector. Society increasingly turns to these compounds to complement nutrition, but their inclusion in a formulation is not enough. It is crucial to justify their use with scientific criteria: they must be selected rigorously and supported by solid…
Read moreWhat if we could rebuild human tissues as if we were reconstructing a building? That’s precisely the concept behind tissue engineering, a rapidly evolving field that combines cell biology, materials science, and bioengineering to regenerate or replace damaged tissues. At the core of this discipline are the scaffolds. In this article, we explain what they…
Read moreDid you know we can study human organs inside microchips? This innovative field, known as organ-on a chip technology, is transforming how we investigate the human body’s response to chemicals, food ingredients, drugs and cosmetics. These microfluidic devices—about the size of a USB stick—realistically simulate the physiological functions of human organs (intestine, liver, skin) using…
Read moreCell culture represents a key tool in modern scientific research. Over the past decades, scientists have developed advanced cell culture techniques to isolate individual cells from tissues and obtain homogeneous cell populations that can be maintained, manipulated, and multiplied in vitro. The 4 types of cell culture: definition, differences, and application examples Understanding the different…
Read moreThe growing demand for more sustainable and efficient solutions in the pharmaceutical industry has driven the adoption of clean technologies for the production of active ingredients. One of the most advanced and versatile methods is supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), especially using carbon dioxide (CO₂). This technique enables the recovery of API pharmaceuticals with high purity,…
Read moreThe rise of plant-based meat analogues reflects growing environmental awareness and demand for sustainable alternative proteins, driven in part by flexitarian diets. In this landscape, extrusion has become the key industrial route to deliver convincing meat-like textures—either via low-moisture extrusion (TVP) or high-moisture extrusion (HMEC), the latter often referred to in the literature as high…

The international consortium of the SATISPHACTION project held its first Kick-off meeting, leading a key initiative to transform the food packaging sector by developing processes for obtaining high-performance biodegradable polymers from packaging recycling. During the first official meeting of the SATISPHACTION consortium held last week in AINIA, each of the work axes were presented in…
Read moreThe analysis of MOSH and MOAH has become a growing priority for the European food industry. Their detection and control not only represent a technical challenge but also a regulatory one, as future European legislation is expected to establish maximum limits for these compounds. In this article, we explore the MOSH/MOAH definition, why these substances…
