Laboratory Agrifood Sustainability, Quality and Safety

The laboratory activities are focused  on innovation on research, development and transfer activities to increase competitiveness, quality, safety and sustainability of food production systems and agroforestry.

Activities  focus on developing efficient production processes to little or no waste generation, on validation and application of diagnostic methods for the qualification of productions, on the analysis and evaluation of microbiological and chemical changes in the processes of production, processing, storage and packaging on the identification and quantification of components and markers of quality in order to prove the authenticity and origin of the products and ensure their traceability.

The laboratory are performed by making use of innovative infrastructures, equipment, facilities, technologies and service platforms.
