About

We are developing a sustainable and environmentally friendly process for the isolation and functional modification of plant-derived bioactive compounds, with a focus on dimerization using green solvents and enzymatic catalysts. Instead of conventional methods involving hazardous chemicals and energy-intensive steps, our approach uses mild, selective, and eco-friendly techniques that preserve bioactivity and enhance the functionality of target molecules.

We offer expertise in:

  • Green extraction and enzymatic modification of natural compounds

  • Oxidative dimerization using NADES

  • Bioactivity testing and compound characterization

  • Valorization of plant-based waste and agro-industrial by-products

  • Different separation/extraction processes

  • Proteine/enzyme isolation and purification
