XtractTeam

🔬 ✨ Sa ponosom objavljujemo da od 2026. godine XtractTEAM započinje realizaciju dugoročnog projekta finansiranog od strane AP Vojvodine pod nazivom:
NEXTCARE – Ekstrakti nove generacije za primenu u kozmetičkoj industriji: prirodni eutektici i supramolekularni sistemi u valorizaciji koenzima Q10 i karotenoida iz ribljeg otpada i mikrobne biomase. 🌿

💡 Projekat NEXTCARE usmeren je na primenu zelenih ekstrakcionih tehnologija za valorizaciju sporednih proizvoda iz prerade ribe, kao i biomase dobijene tretmanom otpadnih tokova pomoću mikroalgi, sa ciljem razvoja inovativnih rešenja bogatih karotenoidima i koenzimom Q10 za primenu u farmaceutskoj i kozmetičkoj industriji. ♻️

🖇 Na projektu će XtractTEAM ostvariti saradnju sa kolegama sa Farmaceutskog fakulteta Univerziteta u Novom Sadu:
prof. dr Natašom Jovanović-Lješković, dr Slađanom Vojvodić i dr Gaborom Katonom. 🤝

Radujemo se novim naučnim rezultatima, inovacijama i budućim zajedničkim dostignućima. 🚀🤍

Working in PHOTOCATALYSIS? ✨✨ Here’s why you shouldn’t miss the 2nd PHOTOREFINERIES CONFERENCE.

📍The 2nd International Conference on Novel Photorefineries for Resource Recovery – 2nd PHOTOREFINERIES CONFERENCE, which will be held from 2nd to 4th September 2026 at the is a strategic platform for the consolidation of a new generation of light-driven biorefineries and an event where light energy and photo-activated processes become the engine of the transition toward a circular and climate-neutral bioeconomy. 🧪🧫♻️

🌍 Within the framework of COST Action PurpleGain (CA21146), the conference brings together fundamental science, technological development, and industrial implementation to transform waste streams and secondary resources into high-value products. Its central narrative revolves around a powerful concept: harnessing light to close material loops.

The scientific programme is structured around three complementary pillars:

1. Microalgae and Cyanobacteria Biorefineries
2. Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) Platforms
3. Photocatalytic Processes and Artificial Photosynthesis

💡 What makes this conference truly distinctive is not only the diversity of technologies presented, but also their integrative approach. The different technologies are not treated as separate solutions, but as interconnected components of a single light-driven biorefinery framework. Within this model, biological carbon fixation, nutrient recovery, pollutant degradation, and solar-driven chemical production are designed to coexist and operate synergistically, creating efficient and scalable systems for circular resource recovery.

IceBIO je zvanično počeo! 🍦✨

👉 Održali smo prvi kick-off sastanak projekta i definisali plan rada za unapređenje postojećih formulacija i njihov dalji razvoj u funkcionalne proizvode na bazi herbalne prašine.

📑 Pred nama su formulacije, optimizacija procesa i mnogo eksperimentalnog rada… a verujemo i ozbiljno testiranje ukusa 😄

🍀 Radujemo se nastavku saradnje sa kolegama sa PMF-a i kreativnom spoju nauke i gastronomije!
