JORGE SINEIRO TORRES

Jorge Sineiro Torres is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Higher Technical School of Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. from the same institution (1996), with his thesis focusing on enzymatic processes for oil and flour production from sunflowers. His research emphasizes extraction technologies, particularly in valorizing agricultural and marine byproducts through enzymatic treatments, ultrasound-assisted methods, and adsorption techniques. Key areas include antioxidant recovery from winery wastes, phenolic compound analysis in coffee, and optimization of seaweed extract processes.

His work spans food science, environmental biotechnology, and process engineering. Notable contributions include studies on espresso coffee’s antiradical activity, kinetic modeling of rosehip seed extraction, and enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. His research group, TIBD (Technologies for the Development of Industrial Bioproducts), focuses on industrial applications of bioproducts derived from sustainable processes.

Publications highlight collaboration across disciplines, with a focus on practical solutions for industrial waste utilization and bioactive compound recovery. No specific awards are mentioned, though his prolific publication record indicates significant academic impact.
