Biotechnological research of sugar
- plant breeding research
- research of new processing methods of sugar beet:
value addedproductsfrombeet fibre (pectin, rare monosacharides,
biopolymers degrading in the enviroment etc.)
Biotechnological research on the utilisation of agricultural wastes and by-products for renewableenergy production:
- measuring the biogas forming potential of by-products and wastes
- masurement of biogas composition
- research on the utilisation of CO2 content of biogas
- improvement of the technology of biogas production by novel reactordesign and process plans
- tecnological and economical assessment of combined
utilisation of carbohydrate plants for biofuel (bioethanol) and biogas
