Novel Food Processing and Extraction Technologies of High-Added Value Compounds from Plant Materials
2018
Some functional foods contain biologically active compounds (BAC) that can be derived from various biological sources (fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants, wastes, and by-products). Global food markets demand foods from plant materials that are “safe”, “fresh”, “natural”, and with “nutritional value” while processed in sustainable ways. Functional foods commonly incorporate some plant extract(s) rich with BACs produced by conventional extraction. This approach implies negative thermal influences on extraction yield and quality with a large expenditure of organic solvents and energy. On the other hand, sustainable extractions, such as microwav…
New Technologies for Adaptive Architecture
2019
Since the 1980s, the bioclimatic architecture has had the historical merit of having raised public and experts’ awareness on the importance of designing buildings with the purpose of solving the problem of energy saving. Nowadays, in the light of the most recent energy strategies policies, in force on an international and European scale, codified in EC Directive 31/2010 concerning the implementation of the Nearly Zer-Energy Buildings (NZEB), (Deru et al. 2006), the need for a new approach to redevelopment that focuses on environmental, climate and energy objectives with innovative technological solutions emerges, aimed at optimizing the passive bioclimatic behaviour of a building. In the wo…
VERSO UN’ARCHITETTURA RESPONSABILE ED ADATTIVA
2022
L’intento è quello di analizzare le affinità e differenze che contribuiscono il passaggio concettuale per gestire la complessità del progetto tecnologico attraverso le sue realizzazioni di nuova concezione, che ad oggi dovranno esser ripensate nel loro atto realizzativo con le conseguenti ricadute responsabili verso l’ambiente ed il territorio. A tal proposito è risultato utile introdurre la “Direttiva Europea 85/384” con i suoi undici punti che delinea la figura dell’architetto. Il progettista dovrà esser una figura consapevole di un sapere trasversale fondato su ‘conoscenze’ e ‘capacità’ ormai dedite al risparmio delle risorse e lontano dalla velleità da palcoscenico. The intent is to ana…
Recupero di un'area dismessa a Siracusa
2010
The article describes the proposed redevelopment of a derelict industrial zone in Siracusa, through interventions on ten buildings destined to become tourist and hotel accommodation. The types of installation, materials and buildings techniques to be employed will render the proposed salvage operation sustainable, along with innovative technology and bio-architecture, the use of renewable energy source, all in accordance with the principle of energy-saving.
From’Innov: a new technology to obtain aroma in solubilized soft-cheese
2023
The dairy platform of the STLO, Rennes, developed an innovative technology and more sustainable cheese making process (INRAE patent, From’Innov, WO2016108024). This technology consists of mixing a texture matrix obtained by ultrafiltration with one or more aromatic matrix. The latter is innovative: it allows obtaining a maximum of aroma in a short time, less than a few days. The principle is to grow each of microorganisms in an optimized middle with essential nutrients, optimal pH and temperature, and O2 if necessary. After adjusting the pH and temperature of the mix, we proceed with the coagulation then the molding, and the next day the demolding. The cheese is ready and contains the expec…
