  The research group "Proteomics and functional genomics of plants of the University of Alicante has developed a new procedure that increases the production and extraction of phytosterols in plant cell cultures in vitro. To do this, is added to the culture medium cyclodextrins and optionally methyl jasmonate. After growing under certain conditions, phytosterols are obtained with yields higher than the current extraction techniques from the plant material. This method allows a stable production of phytosterols, independent of geographical, seasonal and environmental factors, with reduced spaces requirements and easier process of purification and industrial scaling. The group is looking for companies interested in acquiring the technology for commercial exploitation.
  
  Market applications
  
  Because of the beneficial properties described above, phytosterols are widely used in different sectors:
  
  • Food additives, their consumption is closely related with a lower risk of coronary heart diseases, and this is why they are present in margarine, butter, milk, yogurt, ice cream, breakfast cereals, sausages, sauces, etc.
  • Medicine.
  • Pharmacy.
  • Biotechnology.
  • Cosmetics.
  • Other...
  
  Innovative aspects
  
  Nowadays, the classical method of extracting phytosterols from vegetable raw materials has a very low yield. This, combined with the large amount of plant material needed to extract a significant amount of phytosterols from global natural sources (only could be supplied 10% of Western populations), causes a high cost of these products.
  With this new process of in vitro plant cell culture, it is possible to increase production and efficiency of extraction of phytosterols from natural resources for a greater percentage of the population that could benefit from the positive effects of phytosterols on health.
  
  Main advantages of the technology
  
  • The in vitro plant cell cultures are independent of: geographical, seasonal and environmental factors.
  • They are stable production systems (ensure continuous collection of compounds with constant quality and productivity).
  • Reduced space requirements for the development of production.
  • Easier process of purifying the compound of interest (it can be optimized and adjusted to the parameters of cell growth to facilitate their release into the culture medium).
  • Possibility to produce phytosterols on a large scale in bioreactors easier and cheaper, so it is possible to reach costing levels that permits marketing the technology.
  • Possibility of obtaining new products that are not synthesized by plants in natural state.
  • There are other factors that can increase productivity (for example, the elicitation of cell culture). Leer más

  Our partner, a Hungarian SME, has developed a new procedure for complex utilization of industrial sludge from sunflower or rapeseed oil production. The offered technology is used for creating compost products for plant nutrition or animal feeding or bedding products in cattle feedlots from sunflower or rapeseed oil industrial sludge. The offered technology can be used by edible oil factories. It ensures complex agricultural use of industrial oily sludge.
  
  The offered technology is based on the complex utilization of by-products from industrial sludge: floated, winter sludge, oily mucilage as compost for plant nutrition or animal feeding, bedding in cattle feedlots depending on the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics.
  These wastes contain oil in amounts of 35 to 40 % of total mass; the vegetable fats can be easily degraded through physicochemical or biological treatment, which results in short-chain fatty acid production. The sunflower seed oil contains linoleic acid (45 to 60 %), oleic acid (30 to 35 %). The whole composting process is not longer than 70 to 90 days.
  
  Innovative considerations:
  
  - The technology serves complex agricultural use of industrial oily sludge.
  - The application of newly developed feed additive increases weight gain and feed conversation rate, and reduces the fattening period.
  - The use of oily feed additives reduces total N loss during the storage of feedlot manure causing ammonia emission.
  - The stabilised industrial secondary raw materials can be utilised as a bedding material with pelleted paper wastes, non- hazardous composts.
  - The composted oily waste has high agronomic value; the technology results in a potential use for soil manuring and soil improvement
  
  Full scale-experimental results:
  
  Composting of sewage sludge with plant oil industrial sludge:
  
  Sewage sludge – vegetable oil industrial sludge mixed compost piles showed significantly higher total N and DRP and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria number in the end-product than the untreated control group (it means a mixing of sewage sludge with wheat straw). Via lime stabilization the industrial waste based compost is suitable for soil improvement in case of acidic sand texture soils. The composting method results significantly lower trace gas emission and viable weed seed content than the untreated control group. The compost product is a potential source for soil improvement and plant nutrition.
  
  Feed additive:
  
  - The experimental dosage of oily industrial residues did not cause digestive disorder.
  - In case of pig feeding the experimental supplemented oily slurry showed significantly higher daily weight gain than the control group.
  - The fattening period is reduced by 25 to 30 days for oily sludge additive feeding.

  The aim of the technology is the stabilization of the biogas production process utilizing the green stalk of the Monori sweet sorghum plant in relation with biomass, different organic materials, and liquid manure. The sorghum secures primarily the stability of the gas production; it is also suitable for the production of gas in high quantities. The application of sugar sorghum in the case of the before mentioned materials does not only stabilize gas production, it secures a continuous and highly efficient level of gas production. Therefore the operating costs will be highly decreased, the time period necessary for the degradation of the biomass and the harmful influence on the environment will be decreased also.
  
  The organic materials will be degraded in an anaerob environment into organic acids and hydrogen. Methanogen bacteriums transform hydrogen into methane, which is one of the components of biogas. The resulting biogas can be used as an energy source. A problem is that the value of the produced gas quantity fluctuates. If one adds to 75 units of biomass 25 units of Monori sweet sugar sorghum, it can be noticed, that during the production of gas 50-60% methane (biogas) will be produced stably. The technology is not in the experimental phase anymore, the technology is working and it is used under industrial conditions too. The Monori sweet sugar sorghum is sensitive to colder climate, but the technology offering company will take on the adaptation of the technology according to the location (stamina; coldness, dryness).
  
  Main advantages:
  The procedure can be applied everywhere, where the aim the stabilization of the gas production is during the degradation of organic materials, biomass. The procedure does not use chemicals, therefore the procedure is eco-friendly. The Monori sweet sugar sorghum can be used for economical biomass production, besides it can be easily processed and utilized for animal feeding and energetical (high output of methane/ha, or for bioethanole production) purposes. 1 kg dry matter produces 480-600 l gas, that means a multiplicator of 1,3 – 2 according to the gas quantity in relation to other plants. The Monori sweet sugar sorghum is applicable for sugar production purposes, because of its high RF sugar content (16,5-18,5%; wherefrom 54,2% saccharose; 9,3% glucose; 12,9% fructose).
  
  Potential users:
  The technology ensures stable gas production in biogas plants, therefore it can be used firstly for biogas plants and biogas plants of agricultural, animal husbandry, food processing companies.

Completa eliminación de "oily wasted" con la oxidación supercrítica del agua

metalworking fluids, machining fluids; cutting oils, waste, oil
- Descripción de la oferta tecnológica :
  
  La oxidación hidrotermal es un método de tratamiento de residuos ecológica de alto rendimiento que está encontrando aplicación comercial en el tratamiento de residuos orgánicos acuosos, y es particularmente relevante para descomponer aceites sintéticos (incluyendo fluidos de corte industrial y el aceite de motor). Tales efluentes son casi imposibles de tratar a fondo usando técnicas tradicionales, debido a la alta resistencia a la rotura de la emulsión, mientras que la oxidación en agua supercrítica (OASC) alcanza cerca de 100% de destrucción de contenido tóxico a muy altas tasas de procesamiento.
  
  Compartir tecnología
  
  Aspectos nuevos e innovadores
  
  The technique exploits the extreme oxidation characteristics of supercritical water, (defined as 221 bar and 374 ºC). Under these conditions oils become soluble, and a single homogeneous reaction phase is obtained in which the organic compounds and oxygen are brought into contact. This results in an almost instantaneous break down of organic substances into harmless products, essentially water and CO2 (without the formation of NOx, SOx, CO or other products of incomplete oxidation).
  
  The University of Cadiz, a leading center of research for ecological waste treatment, recently conducted a comprehensive study of the hydrothermal treatment of a wide variety of compounds representing the principal effluents generated by industrial machining (classified as dangerous waste under current regulations).
  
  The research found the design achieved greater than 99% elimination of the contamination in only a few seconds. On the basis of these results, we consider the system to represent a significant breakthrough in the elimination of dangerous wastes, offering a commercially viable, ecological alternative to simply storing up toxic waste in tanks or ponds.

Procedure for treatment of meat industrial waste

technology transfer, IP, technology offer, technology request, patent
- Descripción de la oferta tecnológica :
  
  New procedure for the pre-treatment and two-stage thermal treatment of meat industrial solid phase or sludge waste for rapid reduction of odor emission furthermore suppressing pathogens in the early stages of total treatment period before the composting.
  
  Compartir tecnología
  
  Aspectos nuevos e innovadores
  
  Our partner, a Hungarian SME has developed a new procedure for the pre-treatment and two-stage thermal treatment of meat industrial solid phase or sludge waste for rapid reduction of odor emission furthermore suppressing pathogens in the early stages of total treatment period before the composting.
  
  The newly developed technology is based on the complex utilisation of following raw materials:
  
   livestock wastes, TSE free animal organs, manure, semi-liquid manure, food-processing industrial wastes, canning industrial wastes, diary industrial wastes, technological sewage sludge
   meat meal, solid phase or semi-liquid phase biogas residues, animal meat, animal hair, animal skin, eggs, diary products, feathers
  
  The aim of the technology is to provide a composted end-product, which can be potentially used for soil-improvement and conditioning with high total organic matter, total N, total P, total K content.
  
  The technology procedure includes 3 phases,
  
  1. Pre-treatment:
  Pre-storage of meat industrial wastes cause significant odor emission: S-compound, ammonia, phenolic compounds, volatile fatty acids (C2-C7). It can be easily minimized by using essential plant oils with application of conventional additives. Our partner’s full-scale experiment demonstrated that utilization of additives caused significant inhibition effect on pathogen survival in 48 hours.
  
  2. Two-stage thermal treatment:
  During the treatment the company applies a two-stage method by using non thermophilic phase before the second thermal stage at temperatures below 60 oC. After the second thermal stage plant derived oils are used for deodoration and conservation of short-chain organic and fatty acids.
  
  3. Composting:
  Depending on the physical-chemical characteristics the composting procedure is planned by using adiabatic bioreactor.
  
  Innovative considerations:
  
  • lowering of gaseous emission and pathogen number during pre-storage
  • optimal hygienization via two-stage thermal treatment
  • mechanical and biological pre-treatment of ligno-cellulose admixture for suitable microbial carbon source utilization
  • the technology is a potential use for complex transformation of different animal wastes: TSE free animal organs, manure, semi-liquid manure, food-processing industrial wastes, canning industrial wastes, diary industrial wastes, technological sewage sludge
  • the technology is suitable for utilization of solid or semi-liquid phase biogas residual wastes
  
  Advantages:
  
  • the pre-treatment of meat industrial wastes induces significant reduction of indicator number of total coliform number during storage
  • the complex controlled composting procedure results in an environmentally friendly product for plant nutrition and soil improvement
  • via controlled treatment composted meat industrial product has significantly higher organic matter, total N, total P content than manures from conventional mesophilic and thermophilic digesting procedure
  • the compost product is an organic source for revitalization of mine spoils and municipal solid waste landfills during recultivation
  
  Potential users
  
  • waste treatment and recycling industry
  • food processing industry
  • meat industry
  • plant nutrition

Sistema de alimentación de esmaltre para la producción de balsosas cerámicas que es insensible a las variaciones de viscosidad del esmalte

- Descripción de la oferta tecnológica :
  
  A partir de los resultados obtenidos en pruebas y ensayos anteriores, hemos construido un prototipo de alimentación de esmalte, que ha sido patentado, con un diseño que reduce al mínimo las variaciones en la pérdida de carga que el esmalte es sometido a medida que fluye dentro del alimentador, y que hace que sea insensible a las variaciones en la viscosidad del esmalte
  
  Compartir tecnología
  
  Aspectos nuevos e innovadores
  
  The Instituto de Tecnología Cerámica has developed a new glaze feed system for bell application that is insensitive to variations in glaze viscosity. The development of this system has required the application of mechanical energy balances to conventional glaze feed devices in order to understand why such systems display variations in their discharge flow rate when glaze viscosity is modified. It has been demonstrated, both theoretically and experimentally, that variations in discharge flow are due to variations in charge loss that the glaze undergoes as it circulates inside of the feeder.
  
  Using the results obtained from a previous experimental stage, a glaze feed prototype has been built, which has been patented, with a construction shape that minimises the variations in charge loss that the glaze undergoes as it flows inside the feeder, and which makes it insensitive to variations in glaze viscosity. In order to verify the proper working of this prototype, its performance was tested under both pilot and industrial-scale conditions.
  
  TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
  
  The ceramic tile production process consists of a series of successive stages that can be summarised as follows: raw material preparation, pressing and drying of the ceramic bodies, firing either with or without glaze, additional applications, sorting and packaging.
  
  A large number of the defects associated with lack of colour uniformity among different tiles is due to the changes in discharge flow rate that conventional glaze feed systems for bell glazing tend to suffer as a result of variations in glaze viscosity in the mixing tanks and pumps. These variations in viscosity, mainly due to temperature changes in the glaze as a result of the mixing and of fluctuations in room temperature, lead to significant variations in the amount of glaze applied on to the ceramic tiles, generally known as “grammage”, which in turn produces colour differences in the end product. By applying mechanical energy balances to a conventional glaze feed system, it can be demonstrated that changes in glaze viscosity lead to variations in the discharge flow rate, as the losses of mechanical energy are altered when the glaze flows through the feeder.
  
  The control method currently used to correct such variations in glaze flow consists of carrying out periodic, manual measurements (every half an hour at best) of the “grammage” applied on to a metal control plate that is run through the glaze curtain created by the bell. Thus, when the amount of glaze measured deviates from the pre-established setting values, the operator modifies the position of the valve in order to increase or reduce the flow rate of the applied glaze. Given its periodic nature, this operating approach fails to assure any stability of the amount of applied glaze, which then leads to defects associated with non-uniform colour in the end product.
  
  The developed system provides the glaze feed for bell glazing but, unlike conventional systems, it is insensitive to changes in glaze viscosity, thereby ensuring that a constant amount of glaze is applied and thus reducing the defects associated with variations in viscosity .

  A method to obtain cow’s milk “in vitro” active against Campylobacter jejuni was proposed in the first part of this work. Eleven Holstein adult cows were selected to be injected with a vaccine against Campylobacter jejuni. Blood and milk samples taken after the injection were analysed by means of ELISA to measure the “in vitro” activity of the immunoglobulins (IGs) against the pathogen.
  
  All the cows injected showed an important increase in the IGs activity. The effect of the intramuscular injection was observed to last around two months. In the second part of this work, the active milk was submitted to different temperature-time treatments at laboratory and pilot plant scales in order to simulate the influence of industrial processes on the IGs activity. It was observed that the IGs maintained most of their activity at pasteurization conditions.
  
  Therefore, the possibility of producing milk and milk products treated at low temperatures active against C. Jejuni has been demonstrated. IGs inactivation kinetics were studied as a function of time and found to be pseudo-first order, according to semi-logarithmic plots.

  Global warming is largely associated to the presence of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This, along with the reached peak oil and the fast increasing demand in energy, places our societies in front of the urge of finding sustainable solutions for the generation of energy and chemical feedstocks. It was proposed in the 1990s that methanol could efficiently replace fossil fuels as a means to store, distribute and supply energy. Methanol can serve as a raw material for the preparation of chemical feedstocks and is also a good fuel itself; so is dimethylether. Methanol is currently being produced from synthesis gas, directly obtained from gas or biomass.
  
  A much more sustainable approach to methanol synthesis consists in capturing carbon dioxide from atmosphere or from burning plants and treat it with hydrogen to form methanol, thereby closing the carbon cycle. Such processes have been reported and they most commonly suffer from low selectivity to methanol and/or conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol, therefore requiring sofisticated process plants with high associated operating costs.
  
  The developed process allows for the preparation of methanol and DME from carbon dioxide in high yields using well-known catalysts.
  
  The Institution is searching for industrial partners to further develop these technologies from the laboratory scale to the commercial plant, jointly or independently.
  
  - The process employs commercially available catalysts
  - High productivity of methanol per gram of catalyst per hour
  - no recycling of unreacted carbon dioxide is virtually needed
  - high per-pass conversion of carbon dioxide and selectivity to methanol or dimethylether
  - further methanol processing is possible Leer más

  We emphasize that there are a number of herbal anxiolytics on the market. However, only one of these may have constituted a real challenge to our product, namely kava kava (Piper misticum). This product was recently withdrawn from many markets due to its serious side effects. Our product can fill the gap created by the withdrawal of this product and may rapidly become a successful alternative being an absolutely safe product with no side effects at all.
  
  TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
  
  The technology is a non-conventional herbal therapy for anxiety. Preclinical studies demonstrate that its efficacy is comparable to that of commercially available drug treatments but in contrast to these, the preparation has an excellent safety profile. Experience with patients attests efficacy in anxious states precipitated by stress and excessive workload. The treatment has a solid scientific background; its use spares time respecting privacy.
  
  HOW IT WORKS?
  
  The active principle of the preparation is a specific extract of Echinacea angustifolia. Recent studies suggested that this plant contains active principles that have beneficial effects on the brain mechanisms involved in the generation of anxiety. A two-year long research program confirmed anxiolytic efficacy but also showed that only a small fraction of available Echinacea preparations has anxiolytic effects of any kind. Based on very extensive R&D our research team identified this effective fraction of Echinaecia preparations. Moreover, a very strong anxiolytic potential is unique to the extract that constitutes the active principle of our preparation.
  
  The result of the referred R&D assures a privileged position for our product, potential competitors might come to the market with non-effective Echniaecia extracts lacking the background knowledge that we have.
  
  BENEFICIARIES AND BENEFITS
  
  Beneficiaries are those who suffer from mild to moderate levels of anxiety. Preclinical studies and experience with human subjects show that the product is especially suitable for those who develop anxiety states in response to daily stressors and excessive workload. This food supplement is also efficient in relieving anxieties precipitated by specific situations like examinations and public appearances.
  
  The benefits of our product are the following:
  • Efficient decrease of anxiety symptoms precipitated by unfavorable life events
  • Rapid onset of the beneficial effect (1-2 days)
  • No side effects. Especially, our product has no sedative side effects that limits the usefulness of other anxiolytic preparations
  • The food supplement status ensures easy access and respects privacy
  • Low cost compared with the cost of conventional medicines
  
  DEVELOPMENT STATUS
  
  The preparation is ready for marketing; moreover, it is already marketed in the US. The active principles and the food supplement per se are manufactured by European companies with attested GMP status.
  
  COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES
  
  There are a number of herbal anxiolytics on the market. Our product has the following advantages over these:
  • Solid scientific background (lacking in the case of many competing preparations);
  • Low dose (many preparations with proven anxiolytic efficacy require very large, sometimes unrealistically high doses);
  • Non-sedative anxiolytic effect. We stress here that many herbal anxiolytics are marketed as having sedative effects despite the fact that sedation is an unwanted side effect of conventional anxiolytic medications.
  
  The only effective herbal anxiolytic on the market was kava kava (Piper mysticum). However, recent studies showed that this plant is hepatotoxic, and also has other major side effects, for which it was withdrawn from many markets. This created a hiatus on the market of herbal anxiolytics, which may be filled by our preparation. We note here that the side effect profile is excellent in the case of our product.

  TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
  
  The ceramic tile manufacturing process consists of a series of successive stages, which can be summarised as follows: raw materials preparation, pressing and drying of the green body, firing, with or without glazing, additional treatments and sorting and packing.
  
  Dry pressing (at 5-7% moisture content) with hydraulic presses is the most common tile forming method. Forming takes place by mechanically compressing the powder bed in the die, which is one of the most cost-efficient forming methods for making ceramic ware with a regular geometry. In pressing, the oil-hydraulic press system drives the rams into the powder bed in the die. The main hydraulic press characteristics are as follows: high compaction force, high productivity, easy adjustment and consistency in holding the set pressing cycle schedule.
  
  The importance of the pressing process lies in the fact that it determines both the bulk density distribution in the tile and mean bulk density. This bulk density will determine ceramic tile behaviour during manufacture and the technical and aesthetic characteristics of the end product.
  
  The control method used at present in the pressing process is discontinuous, performed by hand and uses mercury, making it inefficient and involving health risks for the workers. Therefore, ITC has developed and implemented an on-line control system, which is non-destructive and risk-free.
  
  The developed method consists of a system which, using on-line non-contact measurement of the ceramic compacts, allows adjusting pressing pressure in order to keep dry bulk density constant in the pressed tiles.
  
  Before installing the control system it is necessary to know the compaction diagram of each composition, the target bulk density and the maximum admissible margins of variation in the bulk density of each product. The moisture content of the pressed compact is determined directly by on-line non-contact measurement on the compact with an infrared sensor, when the compact is ejected from the press.
  
  The sensor measurement is used as a variable in a specifically designed software application in which the interdependence functions (previously obtained in the laboratory between the moisture content measured by the sensor and the pressure that the press shall apply to keep tile dry bulk density steady) are programmed, adapted to industrial practice. The computer is connected to the press to control press pressure, and it enables plotting and recording the evolution of the operation variables, programming alarm dialogues, entering settings, and communicating with the corresponding press PLC (programmable logic controller) and with the industrial data network of the manufacturing plant.
  
  TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
  
  The system’s field of application encompasses all ceramic tile manufacturers, since the measure allows automatically controlling the press operation, reducing production problems, enhancing end product quality and lowering manufacturing costs.
