Abstract

The competence group 'Life technology' of the HEVs provides education and is actively committed in transfer technology and in applied research & development. The activities of the group are clustered according to three directions: food technology, biotechnology and analytical chemistry. These main domains correspond to the three study programmes for the bachelor degree in engineering. A large range of facilities is available to cover the needs of education and other activities. Technology transfer is made possible thanks to projects in various domains: analytical and food chemistry, development and validation of analytical methods, monitoring and quality control programs and product development. The analytical tasks are performed under strict quality control. The activities of the group are also strongly dedicated to applied research & development. The strategy is structured around the following R & D axes: aromatic and medical herbs, geographic and biological authenticity, assessment of microbiological hazards during food processing, molecular characterization of microorganisms and development of analytical systems.
