Giotto Biotech together with Saturno project partners was awarded with the “IR20 Piemonte Innovazione e Ricerca 2020” award in the green economy category.

An important confirmation that innovation in the circular economy and synergies between industry and research are the ways to go for a sustainable future.

SATURNO is a strong network between industry and research, a practical example of circular economy for the creation of new processes and new products starting from biomass and waste materials. As a matter of fact SATURNO biorefinery aims to develop urban systems and industrial systems that are sustainable from both environmental and economic point of view.

Partners involved:

Acea Pinerolese, Asja Ambiente Italia, Buzzi Unicem, Officine Cornaglia, CRF, Entsorga Italia, Environment Park, Gaia, Giotto Biotech, Grinp, Hysytech, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Iren, LCE, Merlino, Modelway, Nuova Carrozzeria Torinese, Novamont, Politecnico di Torino, RAMS&E, Step, Università di Torino, Università del Piemonte Orientale, Up to farm.

Joel Roca Martínez and Luca Sperotto visited Giotto Biotech laoratories in these days. They worked toghether with Anna Pérez i Ràfols, our PhD student, on RNAct project supported by Prof. Marco Fragai and Tommaso Martelli, PhD. Joel and Luca come respectvely from Vrije Universiteit (Brussel) and Helmholtz Zentrum (München).

Thanks to Innovative Training Networks Marie Curie that offers the possibility to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers!

Giotto Biotech develops a new service for agri-food operators and can provide answers to important and frequent questions:

are we sure we know what we are eating?
Can we certify products origin?
Does a product satisfy consumers’ taste preferences?

Thanks to metabolomics analysis via NMR, Giotto Biotech experts can offer scientific based answers: food fingerprinting is the process of identifying the unique fingerprint of a foodstuff, which can then be analyzed and differentiated from all the others.
This process is the basis of our food traceability service and it can be a tool for food authenticity and fraud detection.
Finally, foodstuff fingerprinting allows companies a better understanding of final customers tastes, helping to correlate foodstuff characteristics with the opinion of a consumer testing panel.
