Innovative methods to exploit natural resources and improve the nutritional efficiency of plant products - contributions to increase the competitiveness of small enterprises

Description

Knowledge-based governance is the source of increased competitiveness for any business system.
FITOCOMP aims to collect and transfer knowledge resulting from research projects that have proven potential for sustainable agricultural development and rational use of natural resources, and promotes the use of this knowledge to support the realisation of knowledge-based governance.
The main objective of FITOCOMP is the transfer of working methodologies, tools and customized strategies, according to the need to increase the specific competitiveness of each beneficiary of this project.
By the characteristics of the Competitiveness Programme, Axis 1, Action 1.2.3 - Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, the material benefit of partnering with us in FITOCOMP is a 50% reduction in the cost of developing a specific solution needed by you, the difference being borne by the development funds through the FITOCOMP project.
The non-conventional extraction technologies, characterization protocols as well as measurement and control instruments that are part of the basic portfolio of the offer that INCDSB makes through this project are addressed to plant residues from the primary processing of plant materials and by-products resulting from winemaking processes or processing of plant material (e.g. obtaining phyto-pharmaceutical products, supplements) because the technologies and working protocols selectively address certain classes of active principles: polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, polysaccharides, organic acids, carotenoids, vitamins.
