Research team

The research results of the project will be the basis for the development of a number of specialties in food microbiology, food processing technology, food chemistry, processing and post-harvest preservation of tropical fruits to production of value-added products, contributing to adding value to the orange tree, minimizing the risk of environmental pollution.

Create products from local materials, help increase income for people and businesses. Contributing to the development orientation of the Can Tho city's strong raw materials in particular and the Mekong Delta in general. The product makes use of most of the ingredients from orange, which helps to avoid wasting resources. Moreover, the production process does not use additives or harmful chemicals that pollute the environment.
