The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.
I have 2 research themes:
Traceability of vegetable and essential oils
Objective tools are needed to guarantee the varietal and geographical origin of oils. A product "identity card" can be created on the basis of spectroscopic fingerprints and chemical compositions (fatty acids, triglycerides for vegetable oils, phenols, tocopherols, terpenes, etc.). Data processing reveals geographical differences.
Ageing of natural and manufactured products
Understanding ageing processes enables us to optimise the manufacture and preservation of products and prevent their deterioration. Ageing simulation tools (thermal, photochemical) can be used. Chemometric processing of spectroscopic and chromatographic data on products before and after ageing can be used to identify compounds affected by ageing.
