Activities
Sectors	Food industries, Nutracuticals and Pharmaceuticals (gallenics), Wine, Packaging
Expertise	Quality of texture, Structure of cereal and dairy products Permeability and mechanical resistance of digestible or biodegradable films. Vectorisation of active molecules (medications, nutrients, aromas), Wood-Wine or Cork-Wine transfers (water and aromas). Rheology - study of micronic and submicronic particles (granulometry, zetametry) - Molecular Mobility (NMR, EPR) - Phase transition (DSC, permittivity) - Retention and liberation of small molecules including water - Chemistry - Physico-chemistry of proteins (DSC, IR, EPR).
Research	Chemistry and physico-chemistry of materials, applied to food and health products (EA 581). Role of water as the structuring agent of a matrix, denaturing force for macromolecules (polysides, proteins), as a control factor in the “vectorisation” of active molecules (aromas, nutrients, medications), interfacing in particular with digestible films, of a fat globule or a capsule. The study of matrixes in a concentrated environment is the central theme of the the research team.
Services	Bibliographic summaries Mid-long term projects requiring the comprehension of mechanisms constituting obstacles to technological progress
