| 2023/11/09 - 2023/11/10 | The general assembly of the international FunTomP project was held from the 9th to the 10th of November 2023. The aim was
to discuss the advancements of the project work packages and the future work that needs to be performed. I presented the recent
findings of the work on the 'Formulation Design of Tomato Juice' by discussing the various steps involved in conducting a
D-optimal mixture design to obtain a formulation using various mixture components (i.e. ingredients) taking into account the
sensory acceptability of the developed products

| 2022/06/30 - 2022/07/02 | The board meeting for the Functionalized Tomato Products (FunTomP) project funded under the Partnership for Research and Innovation
in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) was held at Ege University in Turkey. The project includes a consortium of 16 partners from
8 countries (Turkey, Lebanon, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Tunisia, and Greece). Presentations and discussions were held
on reevaluating traditional Mediterranean foods by utilizing emergent processing technologies such as microwave technology,
Ultraviolet light, high-pressure processing.
