\u25c8 Bio-preservation of new bakery products with improved nutritional characteristics through the use of agricultural by-products and unconventional plant substrates. \u2013 BIOPAN<\/strong> (MiSE, PON programme \u201cImprese e Competitivit\u00e0\u201d 2014-2020)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BIOPAN project aims to develop biotechnological solutions for obtaining long-life breads with an improved nutritional profile, thanks to the combined use of:
(i) new antimicrobial activity formulations obtained from plant matrices;
(ii) by-products of milling and alternative plant substrates of high nutritional quality;
(iii) starter micro-organisms selected for their antimicrobial activity and their ability to improve the nutritional\/functional profile of the loaves.
In addition to replacing the common preservatives currently used in bakeries (propionate, sorbate and benzoate and ethanol), the use of new plant ingredients and selected starters improved the nutritional\/functional profile of the finished products. The digestibility of new developed breads and their effects on the human gut ecosystem<\/em> was also assessed, in-vitro, by using the Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME).
The achievement of the planned objectives was in accordance with the current demands of the modern consumer, who demands quality products, natural and minimally treated, and who is increasingly sensitive to the environmental impact caused by food waste<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was funded with the programme PON \u201cImprese e Competitivit\u00e0\u201d 2014-2020 by<\/em> the Italian Ministry of Economic Development<\/em> (MiSE, now<\/em> Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Ital<\/em>y), with the programme “European Regional Development Fund” by European Union (EU)<\/em>, and as part of the EU response to the Covid-19 pandemic<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
