VineSense - ground sensor based in robotics to measure infections and water stress in vineyards. Devices are capable to monitor results in near real time and have a low cost. The equipment is easy to use and not technical staff is required. Usual screening takes a lot of time. Product is still on modelling stage and would like cooperation the leverage the research.

How good too your body can be something that you eat? Technology to scan brains to test the if the consume of certain foods or additive impacts your behavior. How information flows in your brain and change your mood. Also capable to estimate energy generated in cells according to what was eaten. Based on Animal models to test behavior and strong background in scientific publications.

Vitro cultured seabass fillets combining disruptive bioengineering and tissue engineering approaches to develop novel conductive edible scaffolds based on algae and plants.

SUStainable use of Insect protein in aquaculture feed: Aimed to overcome the problem of low amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in terrestrial insects so that insect meals can be used as alternative ingredients in aquaculture feeds. Use black soldier fly- BSF (Hermetia illucens) to bioconvert various organic co-products (from codfish industry, fishery waste, codfish hydrolysates, spiral fish feed, algae, and olive pomace). Successfully manipulated BSF lipidic profile producing larvae with more PUFA or other important fatty acids (e.g. Oleic acid)

Use of ionizing radiation technologies to develop new methodologies for the treatment of industrial wastes, as well as for the valorization of naturally occurring bioactive compounds to be used as new ingredients in other industries (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food).

Production of added value microbial surfactants using agro-industrial residues (Olive oil production residues, Cheese whey, Waste frying oil).
MEL* (*Mannosylerythritol lipids)- Environmentally friendly; Highly efficient; Unique properties/activities.1st company to produce MEL in Europe - the others are from other countries.

Valorization of green tomatoes discarded by agro-food industry. Optimization of sustainable techniques to extract glycoalkaloids. Green alternative to surfactants in cosmetics. Incorporation in medical devices or nutracêuticos (functional beverages). 

The current market lacks this specific offering in the form of adaptogen - mushroom snack bar. High-quality varieties, sustainable practices, and innovative growing techniques. Some flavors will include chocolate, berries, truffles, macadamia and other nuts.

Developing new spreadable creams (with or without additions). Incorporation of protein extracted from Acheta domesticus cricket powder to meet the specific protein needs of certain target population. Valorization of by-products from fruit and vegetable agri-food sector, as a good source of fiber; Innovatively use of alternative protein source extracted from cricket powder; Palm oil is excluded from the production of these spreadable creams; Contributing to sustainability and resilience of the agri-food sector. Specific more to seniors and athletes.

Characterization of the biochemical and technological profile of the flower pistils, and its influence on the final characteristics of Alentejo PDO cheeses (Serpa, Évora and Nisa). A better understanding about the milk clotting capacity of Cynara cardunculus would improve quality in about 100 cheese producers in Portugal. Coagulogic is the prototype developed in IP Beja for the evaluation of milk clotting capacity of Cynara cardunculus. The evaluation is based on the analysis of digital imagem, based on the IDF standards. At the moment there are no affordable technical solutions, dealing with the evaluation of milk clotting, for SME on cheesemaking industry. The market potential for such technology could be estimated around 1000-2000 companies in Portugal, Spain, Italy and north Africa.

Created a partnership with the biggest cold-press juice manufacturing player in Portugal for the purpose of reintegrating the leftovers of their production chain in new food & beverage's solutions. With this enterprise he aims to reduce the food waste at an industrial scale as well as the emissions of composting processes by providing both healthy and environmentally responsible solutions to the community.
