Marija Bano\u017ei\u0107, ByProExtract team member, has attended on student exchange at the Wroclaw Medical University, Poland. The exchange was realized within the framework of the ERASMUS academic exchange program for (non) teaching staff. This exchange is a continuation of good cooperation between the Faculty of Food Technology and Engineering in Osijek and the Wroclaw Medical University.
\nDuring the period of four weeks she has been working on on Department of Pharmacognosy and Herbal medicine, where she has been working on analysis of tobacco waste using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as on biological activities of tobacco waste extracts.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the Separation and Production Technology Laboratory at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of the University of Maribor is one of the best research laboratories of this kind. Under the guidance of prof. dr. sc. \u017deljko Knez, this department has 19 researchers and 6 active international and bilateral projects (one of which is a Faculty of Food Technology Osijek) and highly developed equipment, especially in the field of supercritical fluid application. The research activity of this laboratory covers the determination of basic thermodynamic and transport properties of systems required for process planning, including experimental determination of basic thermodynamic and transport properties of the system, which are required for process design including experimental determination of phase equilibria, mass transfer study and modelling by the use of thermodynamic and empirical models, design and optimization of conventional and high pressure processes, such as extraction and adsorption for isolation and concentration of active ingredients from natural materials, analytical and preparative chromatography with supercritical fluids and Transfer of processes into industrial scale.<\/p>\n\n
