The Foodomics research group (https://www.cial.uam-csic.es/pagperso/foodomics/index_en.html) offers expertise in the exploration of bioactive compounds from diverse biomass sources relevant to agroecology projects. Our key areas of specialization encompass:

1- Sustainable Extraction Technologies: We leverage environmentally friendly techniques for extracting bioactive compounds from plant-based materials, algae, microalgae, and agri-food industry byproducts. This includes advanced methods utilizing subcritical and supercritical fluids alongside sustainable solvents like Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES), and biosolvents.
2- Comprehensive Bioactive Compound Analysis: We employ advanced analytical techniques, including tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and a metabolomic approach, to comprehensively characterize the bioactivity (antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory) and chemical composition of food components.

Our extensive involvement in various European projects (details available on our website) demonstrates a proven track record of successful collaboration. Professor Alejandro Cifuentes (a.cifuentes@csic.es, ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7464-0217) leads the research group. We stand ready to contribute our specialized skills and knowledge to any consortium aligned with the goals of agroecology

Our laboratory is located in the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL) that belongs to Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). We are located in Madrid, Spain.

Our group is composed by people from different backgrounds: analyitical chemistry, chemical engeneering, nutrition and food science and technology.
