There is a big market in Colombia for GFP such as pasta, snacks, baked products, and the most of these are made by small manufacturers. Therefore, there is a challenge to contribute to this promising food industry through research projects and programs leading by Universidad Nacional de Colombia Medellín and Bogotá campus and in collaboration with DiSTAM of University of Milan, which contributes to establish analytical methods and protocols. This will strengthen cooperation in the areas of food science and technology by applying rigorous scientific approaches, closing the gap between research and practice and generating future projects of common interest.
