Abstract
A series of functional and nutraceutical food products from the by-products of the food industry will be designed and produced in a Scientific Partnership Program within the University of Craiova, Romania (2018–2020). These functional foods and nutraceutical products will be used in the personalized nutrition of certain patient groups exhibiting certain medical conditions. In the design and construction of these functional foods, some bioactive compounds will be stabilized in certain organic fruit juices; at the same time, other bioactive compounds will be introduced into gluten-free bakery products. The functional foods which will be produced in the Bioengineering and Biotechnology Laboratory of the INCESA Regional Research Hub of the University of Craiova will be stabilized in bio-resorbable capsules. To preserve the functional properties of nutraceuticals, certain biomaterials (proteins, polysaccharides) will be used- as bio-resorbable membranes. Therefore, the focus will be on the biocompatibility of the membranes used for the best biofilms for consumers, the studies of the redox processes occurring inside the capsules, and the studies on the toxicity of the final products.
