A new trend in the food industry : the Clean Label
21 Août 2014
 Further to different food safety crisis, which have lead to a bigger awareness of the consumers regarding the quality of what they eat, the food industry had to cope with an increasing demand of healthier products. This was achieved over the years with the development of several ranges of goods, organic products for example.
The Clean Label appeared in this same movement. There is no legal definition for “Clean Label”, but it generally implies the absence of “E numbers” on the labelling and an easy and clear ingredients label on the products that consumers may find in their own kitchen.
The food market observers explain that ... Read more | |
OxygelPLUS project: development of a gel for persistent organic pollutants degradation in contaminated soils
03 Juil 2014
The OxygelPLUS project, collaboration between the company Biorem and CELABOR, has just ended with promising results.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs, such as chlorinated solvents) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major examples of persistent organic pollutants accumulated in the environment (soil, groundwater …) after their historical uses in various industries. The in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a technology used to degrade toxic pollutants on site.
This project has developed an innovative technology to degrade these pollutants. OxygelPLUS is based on the slow release of oxidative radicals and permits to avoid the rebound effect. The product is made of two basic reagents: an oxidant and a catalyst.
This OxygelPLUS technology has been tested in the CELABOR laboratory. The degradation efficiency has ... Read more | |

Florpro Project: promoting biopreservation agents in fresh food through packaging
28 Fév 2014
 Since 2013 and with the financial support of the Walloon Region, CELABOR has been participating in the Florpro Project in association with the University of Liège and five food manufacturing companies. The aim of this project is to extend the shelf-life of refrigerated foods thanks to bioprotecting bacteria (see Newsletter from 07/22/2013).
In addition to the research carried out on the biochemical alterations of preserved foods, CELABOR takes part in modified atmosphere packaging optimization. The headspace composition is one of the most important factors in the selection and growth of bioprotecting bacteria which compete against pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms. To accomplish this task, CELABOR relies on its experience in packaging optimization ... Read more
