BOADAS 1880 is carrying out the following RD projects within the “RIS3CAT Food Community INNOAPAT“.
Q-PORK. Alternatives to improve the quality of pork and derived products. The aim of this project is to achieve a meat quality measurement system that is reliable, economically viable for companies, automated in some of its parts, and managed by software that integrates the measurement of quality parameters, the classification of that cut of meat according to previously defined categories, and its direction towards the most suitable process to optimise its transformation into a processed product.

KETRENOVIN. Research and experimental application of biotechnology as a key tool in obtaining new high value-added ingredients for the Catalan agri-food sector. The aim of this project is to identify new ingredients and study the effects of products of marine origin, plant extracts, co-products and enzymes for use in foods, supplements or feed, or daily dietary strategies that are effective in improving animal and human health.

These projects are co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF OP). INNOAPAT is a community of companies and research centres dedicated to food, created from the RIS3CAT Action Plan of the Government of Catalonia and led by IRTA. It is made up of 51 partners, including companies, research centres and associations. Its aim is to foster innovation to achieve a healthier, safer and more sustainable food chain. In addition, INNOAPAT will have a budget of 11 million euros and over the next three years will work to promote RDI in Catalan agri-food companies and improve their competitiveness. The three strategic objectives it will focus on are increasing the supply of healthy food products, improving consumer confidence in Catalan products, and reducing food waste
