Biophysical Aspects of Food, its Processes and Preservation (FoodCRYOPHYS)


This group studies relevant problems in Food Science, from an approach considering the techniques and methods of Biophysics. This group is naturally interdisciplinary, both in the questions studied and in the methodology employed. As a small and emerging group, a large part of its activity is organized around collaborative relations, mainly international.
