Through several research projects, this department is taking over the biotech research activities for development of functional and new food resources, food components and biologically active compounds. The main research lines of the department are:
·
Probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotic
product;
·
Value added products based on agri- food
biotech innovations;
·
Identification and innovation of metabolites
and bio-compounds;
·
Cell culture and Cellular cultivation;
·
Elimination and identification of microbial
toxins and biological pollutants;
· Extraction and application of bio-active and microbial compounds.
Two laboratories of Biotechnology and Food Microbiology are well established to
serve six academic staff members and three expert lab assistants of the
department as well as several postgraduate students in their research
projects.
