Brief description of the organization: TECNOVA is located in Almería (Spain). This area represents the highest concentration in European acreage on greenhouse crops, with approximately 27,000 ha. TECNOVA is an Andalusian Technological Centre of Agricultural Industry. It is constituted as a private non profit Foundation and integrates 120 companies, organizations and institutions belonging to the industry and many other services for agriculture. Tecnova carries out R&D and implementation in Agrofood and Agricultural Industry, which focus on using products based on respect environment. TECNOVA has as a goal the technological development, promotion and marketing of the industry and auxiliary services for agriculture, promoting the formation, competitiveness and innovation, being able to carry out as many primary and complementary activities as required. The Technology Center TECNOVA includes many sectors of agriculture such as: Agricultural chemicals, Construction and installation of greenhouses, consultancies, climate control, packaging, engineering, agriculture and post harvest machinery, plastics and nets, biological production, irrigation and fertigation, seeds, seedlings, substrates, waste treatment and the Environment.

Project title: POTENTIAL USES OF THE VEGETABLE PRODUCTS FOR FOOD INDUSTRY
Brief description of the project: The aim of this project is to create a study and monitoring network about the different possibilities for food use of by-products generated in the horticultural sector in the Mediterranean basin. The by-products, comes to represent a significant percentage of all harvested, especially in those countries for not having the proper development of post-harvest conservation techniques (refrigeration, controlled atmospheres, etc.)have come in losses up to 50%. The network aims to provide knowledge and assess food resources that the fruit and vegetable by-products can provide with potential beneficial effects in the food industry. Objectives 1. Establishing a network that encompasses different geographical areas of the Mediterranean and therefore different crops and production methods. 2. Characterizing fruit and vegetable production on each area under study. The studies will focus on those that are most important in production volume, or generate greater amounts of by-products or environmental problems. 3. Establishing the possible applications for each crops studied, depend on their composition and content in different compounds. 4. Antimicrobial studies on the major by-products derived from analyzed and their possible applications. 5. Developing a database with products and applications. 6. Strategies for implementing the use of plant products in different areas under study. 7. Establishing workshops and seminars for promotion results
