At AINIA, we collaborated with TROLLI to demonstrate that it is possible to measure and predict protein content in confectionery masses in real time using Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. NIR Spectroscopy for Inline Control in Confectionery The objective was clear: to replace punctual, destructive and slow analytical checks with a non-invasive, accurate, and process-integrated methodology capable…

The transition towards a circular economy in the EU agri-food sector requires not only technological innovation, but also specialised training that equips professionals to address the environmental, economic and social challenges of the future. In this context, the ACE-EX (Agriculture Circular Economy Expert) project was created—an EU-funded initiative aimed at developing a new professional profile…

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…
