R&D - Project
SUSAAN Completed
Development of antimicrobial and antiviral nano-coatings
The SUSAAN project is developing sustainable antimicrobial coatings for textiles and high-use surfaces, involving the textile, bathroom and switch sectors.
BIOSUPHYOL Completed
Development of bio-based and PFAS-free coatings
Development of non-toxic, bio-based (>80%) alternatives to PFAS to provide superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity to paper and textile packaging.
EXPLAINED Completed
Extrusion of insect and plant proteins: texturization and impact on digestibility.
Mealworms could be a key food source to prevent famine in a world with a constantly growing population.
PROTINNOV Completed
Innovative strategies for a rational design of vegetarian products
In response to growing consumer awareness in favour of healthier and more sustainable products, demand for plant-protein-based foods and beverages is rising sharply.
VALORBSY Completed
Brewery yeast valorized for nutritional ingredients as alternatives to animal proteins
The ValorBSY project aims for the sustainable valorization of residual yeast from craft breweries for the agri-food industry, combining collection technologies, targeted extraction, and the creation of new products.
Wallep Completed
Development of a new product range to benefit the spelt value chain in Wallonia
Funded by the Marshall Plan, the Wallep project is structuring a sustainable spelt value chain in Wallonia. The objective: to add value to this local cereal through short supply chains to ensure a stable income for farmers.
SLUDGE2BBI Ongoing
Production of PHAs for bio-based chemistry from sewage sludge and organic materials
Development of PHA extraction technologies from sewage sludge to produce biodegradable, bio-based building blocks for green chemistry.
SAFE Ongoing
Sustainable bioeconomy: aquaculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, and integrated freshwater uses.
The SAFE project aims to make aquaculture more sustainable by valorizing solid and liquid waste from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) through circular economy approaches.
PHENIX – FOODBOOSTER Ongoing
Analytical and technological platforms for the development of prebiotics and probiotics
FoodBooster aims to develop prebiotic ingredients rich in fructo-oligosaccharides using gentle processing methods.
BEFRESH Completed
Gentle technologies for the sustainable stabilization of high value-added carbonated beverages.
The BeFresh project develops high-pressure processing and sustainable packaging to stabilize natural carbonated beverages without preservatives, while preserving their quality.
