A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The main product of this technology is a char produced through thermochemical treatment of organic waste and functionalized for several specific applications by engineering the functionalization methods.
The service offered includes the recovery...
The thermo-catalytic reforming technology TCR® enables added value products such as syngas, green hydrogen, bio-oil and biochar from residual biomass from industries operating in the food, agro, forestry and processing sectors. Such products can be...
The grape ripening degree at harvest is one of the main factors influencing the quality of wine. The parameters most frequently used to monitor the ripening degree of grapes are sugar content, pH, acidity, and phenolic composition. The latter is...
Development of a 24 SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers set for the parallel analyses of multiple of molecular markers associated with earliness and resistance to low temperatures in tomato. SNP-based markers are based on single DNA base...
Development of a set of 24 SNP markers (single nucleotide polymorphism) dedicated to the parallel analysis of 192 samples to test genes / markers associated with characters of interest, such as quality and low-toxicity gluten. SNP-based markers...
NIR spectroscopy is a rapid and cheap technique for the analysis of food samples, which do not have to be "prepared", but can be analyzed as they are. In this context, the CHIMSLAB research group of BIOGEST-SITEIA has already successfully implemented...
The hyperspectral images acquired in the near infrared (NIR) range combine the advantages of spectroscopy and imaging, enabling to obtain a sort of "chemical photography" of the sample in which the sample aspects hardly visible or not visible to the...
The common digital color photographs or the RGB images acquired by a desktop scanner can be processed in order to extract "information" on the characteristics of the sample. Such characteristics may concern the chemical composition of the sample, if...
Working on the design and synthesis of more environmental friendly chemical products, the Sustainable Chemistry Laboratory of CIRI Energy and Environment has developed expertise on alternative chemicals characterized by both high biodegradability and...
In order to optimise material and/or energy recovery processes, it is required to have quantitative data on potential material flows and on their trends over time. For this purpose, a tool such as the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) allows flows to be...
Development of a set of 24 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers that allows 192 samples to be simultaneously analysed in a single day for 24 markers associated with agronomic traits of interest. SNP markers represent polymorphisms due to...
Use of transparent coatings made with natural polymers (alginates) able to convey natural molecules with antimicrobial activity, such as essential oils, for slowing down the contaminating and altering microbial proliferation in chicken breasts. The...
