Applied Sciences Webinar | Advancements in Food Nutrition and Bioactive Compounds, 26 September 2025
We are pleased to welcome you to the upcoming webinar “Advancements in Food Nutrition and Bioactive Compounds”, a scientific event focused on the innovative potential of food-derived bioactives and sustainable bioproducts in human health and disease prevention.
The webinar will feature three cutting-edge presentations addressing complementary aspects of food science and biotechnology. The first talk explores the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of purple prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) peel extract in colorectal cancer models, offering insights into the valorization of agro-waste for anticancer applications. The second presentation focuses on how water deficit and irrigation strategies influence the nutritional quality and bio-functional compound content in strawberries—highlighting genotype-dependent responses to drought stress and opportunities for breeding resilient, high-quality cultivars. Lastly, the third contribution introduces compost teas as emerging antiviral and antimicrobial agents, emphasizing their molecular mechanisms and potential role in circular bioeconomy and green healthcare.
This event brings together researchers, food scientists, biotechnologists, and professionals engaged in sustainable nutrition, functional foods, and the therapeutic application of natural compounds. Join us for a stimulating discussion on the intersections between food, health, and sustainability.
