What we do want to accomplish :Development of health -protecting products– carefully proven in vitro and in vivo –made from wine and oenological byproducts which will open a new market segment for wine products and increase the market value and competitive ability.
3
Idea of the proposed activity
The basis of the development is the phenomenon known as the ‘French paradox’, according to which the relativelyhigh -cholesterol nutritional habits of French people are not in harmony with the low proportion of cardiovascular diseases occurring in the wine-producing regions. The cause of this phenomenon is the moderate consumption of red wine and its high polyphenol content.
Milestones of the work• Understanding the complex biological and medical effects of
grape skin polyphenols, and performing experiments for product development. Evidencing of the protective effects of polyphenol with human trials.
• Development of laboratory backgrounds for the qualitative and quantitative determination of polyphenols in grape skin, pomace, red wines and red wine derivatives.
• Manufacturing red wine- and pomace-based health-protective products, organization of regional industrial centers. Development and testing of quality control systems.
• Stability studies of the new health products, and analysis of their metabolites. Scientific and public communication of the medical and health effects.
• Market research.
In the course of our proposed processing,
Products to be developed:• Primary materials: wine, grape pomace, lees.• Dry material having a high polyphenol and
anthocianin content.• capsule containing polyphenol;• soft drink containing a high level of polyphenol;• energy drink containing a high level of polyphenol;• wine product containing a high level of polyphenol;• alcohol free wine product containing a high level o f
polyphenol;By-products:
• industrial ethanol (forming under the vacuum distillation of wines).
6

Project idea• “ Novel (chlorine-free) processes to reach the highest level of decontamination of ready to eat vegetables”
• Area 2.2.3 Food Processing•KBBE.2011.2.3-01: Sustainable cleaning and disinfection technologies
OBJETIVES:In the last few years, consumer trends have increased for fresh-cut and minimally processed vegetables that are eaten raw with little or no chemical preservatives. These foods usually contain spoilage microorganisms and pathogens, that have led to a number of food-borne disease outbreaks due to poor hygienization.
For fresh ready-to-eat vegetables there is no industrial treatment that can be relied on to substantially reduce the number of contaminating micro-organisms.
This project seeks to define the most effective process to reduce the microbial load of ready to eat vegetables by using chemical and/or physical agents without modifying the sensory/nutritive properties .
3
Idea Description
•EC Regulations lay down detailed requirements for food business operators to monitor the food safety of fruit and vegetable products after primary production;
•Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 and it succ essive corrections and amendments set microbiological criteria as a guidance on the acceptability of foodstuffs and their manufacturing, handling and distribution processes.
•Current disinfection processes for fresh ready-to-eat vegetables comprise washing in chlorinated water to enhance their safety and shelf-life, but its use has limitations and disadvantages, such as a reduced antimicrobial effectiveness or the formation of carcinogenic chlorinated compounds .

1 slide
3
Idea Description• Fish farming has been facing several threat such as bacteria and subsequently,
parasites. Now, we are facing viruses which present the following difficulties:
• Difficult detection
• A) Because of the lack of capable laboratories.
• B) Due to the ignorance of a big number of viruses that without being the cause of mortality, they do generate immune depression on the fish that allow other opportunistic diseases to be the cause of mortality or morbidity.
• Ignorance in prophylactic techniques which will allow us to control the spread of these pathogens in the facilities.
• It is necessary to evaluate the technical possibility to develop vaccines or autovaccines against these pathogens.
• Main milestones:
• Using a list of possible viruses to be analyzed according to this project, proceed to:
• Sampling on farms.
• Detection of new virus.
• Designing a management protocol including prophylaxis in facilities.
• Obtaining a rapid test kit against detected virus.
• Evaluation or the technical difficulties for the production of vaccines or autovaccines. .
• Detection of opportunistic diseases that can cause mortality or morbidity.
• Main expected results:
• Find what virus are indirectly responsible for many causes of mortality in fish farming.
• Provide rapid and effective techniques against these viruses. .
• Provide training and a culture protocol in order to reduce the risk.
