UMT PROFEEL - Nutritional and sustainable plant formulation, scientific research, consumption and environment

UMT Actia Profeel

A partner of choice for designing functional, nutritional and sustainable formulas.

To support the food transition in industrialized countries, the agri-food sector must give priority to "clean label" formulations, substituting ingredients with healthier, more sustainable alternatives, while preserving product quality.

This UMT, located in Bordeaux, was launched in January 2023 for a five-year term. It conducts part of its research in collaboration with the team at the Paul Pascal Research Center (CNRS, University of Bordeaux).

⚕️Nutritional benefits What forms of intake for what nutritional values?

🌿Natural formulas Which ingredients for which performance?
