Sustainable Agro-food Materials group

Hi! We are the "Sustainable Agro-food Materials" group working at IHSM La Mayora.

🌍Hello world!

We are the Sustainable Agro-food Materials group!

We work creating eco-friendly solutions at the intersection of #agriculture, #food, and #materials science.

From #bioplastics to #circularbioeconomy strategies and beyond!♻️🌿

[Sustainable Agro-food Materials group @MASLab_IHSM]

Proud that our group is taking part in this exciting joint project, with our P. I. @susanagpuyol!🌱

We’ll do our best to valorize carob tree residues and transform them into new functional materials, contributing to a more sustainable use of this valuable resource. ♻️

Por su parte, el @IHSM_CSIC_UMA investigará nuevos materiales obtenidos de la biomasa del algarrobo y AMUFOR identificará antiguos bancales de algarrobos y zonas estratégicas de prevención de incendios forestales para promover la recuperación de la producción.

Welcome to João Francisco Carvalho Silva Cinegaglia 🇧🇷 (@embrapa Instrumentação) to our group at @IHSM_CSIC_UMA! 🎉

He will join us for a four-month stay focused on the valorization of grape pomace for food packaging films.🍇

This research stay is funded by @AgenciaFAPESP.
