It was a pleasure attending the 1st ENFiber International Conference in Tartu, hosted by the Estonian University of Life Sciences. The conference was a great opportunity to meet researchers working in different areas of fibre and biomass valorisation, exchange ideas, and discuss potential collaborations.

We also had the opportunity to present our poster:
“Optimisation of Enzymatic and Processing Conditions for the Recovery of Bioactive Phenolics from Olive Pomace.”

Many thanks to Mecit Halil Oztop and the organising team for the smooth organisation and welcoming environment throughout the conference.

Our research was featured on TVM news, highlighting a scientific test developed to authenticate Maltese pork. 🐖🇲🇹

Using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and advanced data-analysis models, the study shows that Maltese pork can be distinguished from imported meat based on differences in protein-related spectral structure, particularly within the fingerprint region.

Funded by Xjenza Malta, this work supports food authenticity, consumer protection, and trust in local produce.
