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 be focused on the enhancement of 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 hitherto considered as industrial waste will be able to acquire an economic value by recovering the biologically active molecules and allocating them to the nutraceutical industry. The recovery and characterization of the bioactive molecules will be carried out with the development of innovative and sustainable analytical methods in agreement with the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. In this context, efforts will be directed to the reduction (and if possible, the elimination) of organic solvents and other toxic reagents in the analytical procedure, the miniaturization and automation of the analytical method, the minimization of energy consumption, the reduction of wastes, and reuse of solvents and materials.
