Abstract:
The project aims to develop a concentrated phytotherapeutic product based on synergistic mixtures of medicinal and aromatic herbs with antiparasitic/antifungal activity, immunostimulants and taste stimulants to control nosemosis and stimulate the development of strong bees colonies by increasing resistance to infections and implicitly reducing the parasite attack.

Abstract:
Lignin represents one of the major sources of carbon, hydrogen and functional groups provided by the nature. However, due to its polymeric structure, it is not enough valorized for the moment, although except the desert areas, it is abundant in the world. One of the reasons of the un-sufficient valorization is the high content of oxygen in very diverse functionalities. The present proposal constitutes a multi-facet project based on several novelties. The first one refers to the nature of the chemical compounds are intended to be produced using lignin as starting material. The second novelty refers to the nature of the catalysts. They will exhibit two functionalities: one acidic to disrupt oxygen bonds and to catalyze acylation and alkylation reactions, and second, to hydrogenate the disrupted fragments. The new catalysts will be prepared as micrometer materials containing active supported nano-structured species to allow an easy penetration inside the polymers. They will present a high density of defects, directly connected to the population of the active centres. The chemical composition of the catalyst represents another novelty, since it should be cheap and recoverable. The fourth novelty refers to the combination of valorization of lignin with salicylic acid. This is also abundant in bushes/leafs and till now does not found an efficient extraction and use in Romania. Another expected novelty is the establishment of analytic methodologies. The methods proposed till now in the literature are rather contradictory. Based on these statements the main objective of the project is Extensive valorization of lignin and salicylic acid to bulk and fine chemicals. Several sub-objectives are derived from this general objective: cultivation of different species of energetic willows, an efficient extraction of Lignin and Salicylic acid, new catalytic technologies to valorize the raw materials to surfactants and lignans, project implementation into pilot plant, dissemination.

Abstract:
Proiectul urmareste realizarea unui produs functional pe baza apei minerale medicinale Valcele (comercializata in tara si in strainatate), imbogatita cu fibre alimentare aglutenice, competitiv pe piata interna, ca produs de nisa adresat persoanelor cu celiachie, dar si consumatorilor interesati in asigurarea unei diete optime. Fibrele alimentare adaugate si compusii fiziologic activi existenti in apa medicianala vor constitui, prin consum, o sursa de sanatate.
Studiile nutritionale sustin ideea ca o dieta bogata in fibre alimentare, care sunt polizaharide neamidonoase (arabinoxilani, celuloza, dextrine, inulina, lignina, ceruri, chitina, pectine, betaglucani) si oligozaharide, nedigerate sau absorbite de organism, este asociata cu scaderea factorilor de risc corelati cu bolile cardiovasculare, diabet, cancer si obezitate. Avand in vedere ca aportul zilnic de fibre recomandat de US National Academy of Sciences pentru adulti este teoretic, in medie, de 20-35 g/zi, produsul propus va spori cantitatea de fibre alimentare neasigurata zilnic numai prin ingerarea legumelor si fructelor.
Apa Valcele este printre putinele ape medicinale autentice, feruginoasa, hidrocarbonatata, calcica, magneziana, carbogazoasa.Compozitia bogata in saruri minerale o recomanda in tratamentul afectiunilor tubului digestiv, ficatului, cura de diureza, manifestari artritice, anemii.Prin imbogatirea ei, in proportii optime, cu fibre lipsite de factor alergen (gluten), arome si indulcitori naturali se va obtine o bautura cu o consistenta, textura si gust special, ca alternativa pentru nutritia oamenilor din punct de vedere al aportului zilnic de saruri minerale si fibre.
Obiective propuse: realizarea analizelor fizico-chimice si microbiologice ale materiei prime, stabilirea mai multor variante de bauturi functionale; selectarea si realizarea variantei avantajoase din punct de vedere organoleptic, nutritiv si economic; stabilirea metodei de conservare si a modului de ambalare/comercializare.
