For over 10 years, Synbiotec Laboratories has been carrying out Research and Technological Innovation projects in collaboration with Companies and Research Institutions and leading Italian and international companies with the aim of creating strategic and lasting partnerships between the research, industrial, and institutional worlds. Thanks to a team of professionals, Synbiotec is able to manage the entire process, from the development of the project idea to the drafting of the project up to the realization of the prototype object of the research activity.
Research projects
PROBIOSENIOR Project
Development of new functional foods and nutraceuticals to improve the quality of life for seniors.
The project takes a practical and innovative approach to the production and distribution of authentic functional probiotic products specifically designed for thesenior population. It begins with an in-depth exploration of innovative technologies and dietary habits, with the goal of enabling the target audience to easily and safely consume specially developed and personalized probiotic products without changing their dietary habits.
Funded by: Marche Region POR MARCHE ERDF 2014/2020 – AXIS 1 – OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE 3 – ACTION 3.1 – “Promoting innovative solutions to address the health and well-being challenges of local communities through collaborative research and experimentation projects between businesses and public/private entities that provide services to citizens.”
The financial support received from the European Union amounts to 954,111.86 euros
PROBIOTIC-FOOD Project
Industrialization, economic valorization and commercialization of probiotic-based functional foods.
The project aims to industrialize and commercialize four probiotic-based functional foods, with the goal of demonstrating the business’s scalability among a broad target audience of consumers who value healthy nutrition. Another objective is to develop packaging that positions the functional food as an innovative and distinctive product and, finally, to enhance the competitiveness of the food industry by providing guidelines and innovative strategies for the development of probiotic products suitable for all consumer categories.
Funded by: Marche Region POR MARCHE ERDF 2014/2020 – AXIS 1 – OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE 1 – ACTION 1.2 – Engineering, industrialization of research results, and economic exploitation of innovation. The financial support received from the European Union amounts to 198,121.89 euros.
PROBIOTIC NUTRACEUTICAL FOODS
Research and development of new confectionery-type foods with probiotic action.
The project aims to research and develop a line of confectionery products containing probiotic microorganisms; the bacterial strains to be included in confectionery matrices will be novel and specially selected for the project.
GRAFOOD
Active GRAPHene based food packaging systems for a modern society.
The project aims to develop a paper packaging system containing modified and unmodified graphene, fortified with silver and titanium or with probiotics, having food-preserving activity. The study also includes the possibility of recovering graphene from used packaging and using it to produce new packaging.
MAF SYSTEM
MAF System is a new MODEL OF INTEGRATED CARE AND ASSISTANCE INTERVENTION.
which addresses the need of vulnerable people (over 65, diabetics, people with dementia, disabled people with comorbidities, etc.) to maintain and, where possible, improve their quality of life through the 'introduction of new eating habits and monitoring services of vital parameters and lifestyle, all in the different contexts whether home or in day care social and health facilities as well as residential.

RESCUE-Bio: From Waste to Resources
Valorization of bioactive substances to contribute to a circular economy with new applications in the food, cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries
The project aims to innovate the functional foods and cosmetics sector, focusing on individual well-being and health through the sustainable use of bioactive compounds derived from food waste and local waste. The project also involves the scale-up of innovative extraction methods and the production of extracts for the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, designing a future in which health, nutrition, and personal care are interconnected and sustainable.
This initiative is part of Work Package 5 (WP5) of Spoke 6 at the University of Camerino, which aims to promote regional food products by incorporating nutraceutical and nutrigenomic approaches to improve consumers’ health and well-being.
The process, therefore, followed a path that began with the analysis and identification of sources of bioactive compounds and led to the formulation of products that were thoroughly studied for their physiological effects and health benefits: authentic, functional, and probiotic formulations were developed, along with cosmeceutical products designed to meet the growing demand for preventive and curative solutions integrated into daily nutrition. These offer modern consumers products that not only meet nutritional needs but also serve as tools for the prevention and treatment of various conditions, fitting into a lifestyle that combines nutrition, personal care, and physical activity.
RESCUE-Bio has undoubtedly positioned itself at the forefront of sustainable innovation, integrating the circular economy into the heart of the functional foods and cosmetics sector by using “waste” as a valuable resource for extracting active ingredients with health-promoting properties, thereby minimizing environmental impact and maximizing production efficiency.
The collaboration between PIERPAOLI S.R.L., project leader, and SYNBIOTEC S.R.L., aims to create a productive ecosystem that enhances the Marche region, promotes the circular economy, and contributes to economic recovery and regional sustainability.
