Dynamique of Structuration under Constraints (DySCo)
The multidisciplinary and multi-scale expertise of the team is focused on understanding the dynamics of structuration / destructuration of protein-based colloidal systems induced by food processes. -
eco-efficient Polymeric and Organic Packaging (ePOP)
Les activités de recherche de l’équipe ePOP reposent sur la compréhension et la modélisation des relations qui existent entre la structure et les propriétés de transfert d’un emballage alimentaire, d’une part et les propriétés de transfert et les réactions de dégradation des aliments d’autre part. Les connaissances issues de ces travaux permettent :
• D’élaborer des matériaux (nano)composites innovants issus de ressources renouvelables et biodégradables
• De développer des outils de prédiction et d'aide à la décision basés sur une ingénierie de type reverse: des besoins de l'aliment vers la structuration / formulation du matériau

Grains or seeds and coproducts: characterization, transformation process and end-use value
Our group is studying grains, seeds and co-products. His main goal is focused on the identification of relationships between the fine structure and composition of raw matters, their behavior along processing and the end-use values of the obtained products for food or non-food uses. -
The aim of the Soft Matter Engineering team is to contribute to the understanding of biopolymer assembly mechanisms, from their genesis to the different stages of their transformation, in order to develop new products and additives mainly foodstuffs, meeting current and future requirements in terms of maintaining biodiversity, energy and water savings.

Ingénierie des Connaissances (ICO)
L’objectif de l’équipe est la conception et l’élaboration de méthodes et d'outils pour intégrer des connaissances hétérogènes, aider la décision collective par la définition de compromis entre acteurs et critères, dans les systèmes agro-alimentaires, qu’ils soient à des fins alimentaires ou de bioproduits. -
Ingénierie des Réactions Biologiques (IRB)
The work of the IRB team focuses on the understanding, orientation and optimization of microbiological or enzymatic catalysts for the valorization of renewable resources (e.g. agro-industrial residues - rich in sugar or fatty acids, CO2) into molecules of interest (e.g. functionalized lipids, PHA polymers). Our research interest is to study the relationships between the state of a biocatalyst and the dynamics of a biological reaction, depending on the environment. -
Physics of processing of plant-based divided materials (PhyProDiv)
The PhyProDiv group is interested in the controlled generation of plant biomass particles and their physical and mechanical behavior in powders, dense suspensions, charged composites ... It combines experimental, theoretical and numerical developments to understand the transformations of divided materials from the scale of the constituents to that of the process. Its topics of interest mainly deal with the food industry, biomaterials and bioenergies.
