During the 15th World Congress on Polyphenols Applications which was held on September 28-30, 2022 at ADEIT ‘Fundación Universitat’, Valencia, Spain, Sandra Mariño-Cortegoso, a FoodChemPack PhD student received the best poster award for her contribution “Recovery of Bioactive Compounds From Lime and Lemon By-Products Through Sustainable Methodologies”.
This work is a part of the research project VALICET focuses on the valorization of fruit by-products using green extraction technologies for future approaches in the application of fruit by-products as food ingredients and additives through the recovery of added-value compounds. Future work will be done on the encapsulation of the bioactive compounds to develop ingredients, edible and active packaging and coatings to extend food shelf-life.
