CIRCADIAN: a circular economy approach for characterization and valorization of bioactive compo[]

Organisation/Company: Università degli Studi di Torino Research Field: Chemistry Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2), Leading Researcher (R4), First Stage Researcher (R1), Established Researcher (R3) Country: Italy Application Deadline: 27 Jan 2025 - 13:00 (UTC) Type of Contract: To be defined Job Status: Not Applicable Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The research will focus on enhancing the value of waste products typical of the Italian marginalized areas, represented by residues of crops typical of the Mediterranean environment before their transformation into bioenergy. Products previously considered industrial waste will acquire economic value by recovering biologically active molecules and allocating them to the nutraceutical industry. The recovery and characterization of bioactive molecules will be conducted with the development of innovative and sustainable analytical methods in agreement with the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. Efforts will be directed towards reducing (and if possible, eliminating) organic solvents and other toxic reagents in the analytical procedure, miniaturizing and automating the analytical method, minimizing energy consumption, reducing waste, and reusing solvents and materials.
