Natural Products & Food Research and Analysis - Pharmaceutical Technology (NatuRAPT) University of Antwerp

Responsible
The mission of the research group "Natural Products & Food Research and Analysis – Pharmaceutical Techology" (NatuRAPT) is to make a contribution to human health by increasing our knowledge on medicinal plants and food plants, including the chemical profiling of their constituents and metabolites, the development of methods to assure their quality, optimalisation of their formulation to guarantee and improve bioavailability, and evaluation ...

Environmental Ecology & Applied Microbiology (ENdEMIC) University of Antwerp

Responsible
Lab of Environmental and Urban Ecology - Roeland Samson As human population keeps on growing, pressure on land increases throughout the world. Urbanization is, therefore, a logical consequence, but brings about its own problem as it concentrates many different polluting activities, thereby negatively influencing human health but also having negative impacts on animals and plants. Simultaneously, the urban environment, or the urban ecosystem, ...

Product Quality and Innovation Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food

Optimal processing of primary agricultural products (plant and animal) into quality food, feed and non-food products is our focus, particularly dairy, meat and fish products, ready-made meals, vegetables and fruits. We study quality improvement, authenticity, nutritional and functional properties, taste, nutrition and health, detection of GMOs and allergens, valorization of secondary flows and new applications from plant biotechnology.
