Omics technologies are a set of advanced scientific tools that allow the study and analysis of the various molecular components of living organisms at a very deep level. Each type of omics technology focuses on a specific class of biomolecules, such as genes, proteins, metabolites and others. These technologies are essential for understanding how organisms function at the molecular level and how they interact with… Read More »Omic Technologies: The Revolution in Food Science

Increased awareness of the environmental impact of a conventional diet has intensified the search for more sustainable alternative protein sources. Cultured meat, insects, microbial protein, proteins recovered from effluents or by-products of the food industry are some of the new nutrients proposed in recent years. However, consumer scepticism and the lack of knowledge about these alternatives make it necessary to make progress in scientific research… Read More »Looking for the best proteins combination for a healthy and sustainable diet
