Bioprocessing bioreactors (Fermentation): Biolector XT (screening scale); Applicon reactors; pilot scale bioreactor
Allows optimal growth of cells and microbial organisms. Optimise microbial species and enzyme selection for fermentaiton processes; generate high-value bio-based products from waste streams; production of cell-based proteins as food […]
BSL3 pilot plant
Observe the behavior of pathogenic microogranism during food processing and cleaning-disinfecton procedures
Cavitation
Rapid increase of linear velocity while passing through a constriction (such as venturi tube or orifice) causing decrease of static pressure. Cavitation bubbles are formed, followed by their implosion with […]
Chalenge tests
Observe microbial growth or inactivation in the food product during processing or shelf-life
