Antibodies to measure residual levels of mycotoxin ochratoxin A in foodCSIC and the University of Valencia have developed antibodies capable of determining ochratoxin A in food and ensure compliance with legislation on food products regarding the presence of this mycotoxin. Antibodies have been generated using novel functionalized derivatives of ochratoxin A. These immunoreagents have shown their efficacy in both direct and indirect competitive ELISA to detect concentrations close to parts per trillion. We are looking for companies interested in patent licensing for the development of fast, sensitive and portable kits for the analysis of ochratoxin A in foods and beverages based on these antibodies. The license of the patent is offered Effective, fast and accurate detection Ochratoxin A has a higher incidence in cereals, wine, juices and coffee One of the most harmful and frequent mycotoxins in food is ochratoxin A. Its presence is a real problem for human health due to its toxicity, and it causes significant economic losses to various productive sectors. The main fungi producing ochratoxin A belongs to the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus, and the products with the highest incidence are cereals, wine, juices and coffee. The small concentrations at which this potent toxin is usually found commonly require the use of sophisticated chromatographic methods. An alternative is the generation of antibodies against ochratoxin A with superior performance to the existing ones that allow this toxin being recognized with high affinity and specificity. These immunoreagents can be easily implemented in various analytical platforms, from the simplest, such as competitive ELISAs and immunochromatographic strips, to more complex, like chips or biosensors of different types, which allows us to simultaneously analyze a large number of samples in low-resource settings such as warehouses, cellars and even farmlands. Main applications and advantages Ochratoxin A derivatives functionalized at new positions have been synthesized that faithfully preserve the structure and characteristics of this potent mycotoxin. These new compounds have proven to be extremely efficient as haptens to generate antibodies capable of recognizing ochratoxin A with an affinity and selectivity not previously described. Immunoassays developed using these immunoreagents have been shown to be very sensitive, allowing analysis of ochratoxin A at levels close to 10 parts per trillion. These new methods are faster than instrumental procedures, especially when analyzing complex samples such as wine and coffee. The generated immunoreagents are easily adaptable to portable methods, such as ELISA kits or immunochromatographic strips.

Stress and metabolic monitoring system to improve fish productionCSIC through the Instituto de Acuicultura “Torre de la Sa l” and the Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona - Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica, and the Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria have developed a novel smart system which warns about changes on the fish behavior responding to external factors which are controllable in a fish farm. The system is a small, less invasive and harmless device that allows fish farmers to identify stressed fish and to perform selective breeding in a more efficient manner. This helps to set more strict and reliable welfare fish standards. Industrial partners dedicated to the manufacture or development of fish farming (vaccines, feed) and/or fish farms monitoring products are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement.

Chimeric protein with high antimicrobial activityResearchers from CSIC have developed a chimeric protein (ClyRODI-H5) with an improved lytic activity against Staphylococcus sp. and higher stability than the parental endolysins of the state of the art. Thus, the invention relates to this chimeric protein and its use as an antimicrobial for treating and/or preventing staphylococcal infections without generation of resistant bacteria; for removing and/or preventing staphylococcal biofilms formation on abiotic surfaces, or for removing and/or preventing staphylococcal contamination of foods. Thus, the present invention belongs to the field of the treatment of bacterial contamination and/or infections. Industrial partners or companies from the food or pharmaceutical field are being sought to collaborate through a patent license agreement. An offer for Patent Licensing

A Novel Biosensor for Detecting Wine SpoilageIn the proposed research we describe a novel, efficient and low-cost approaches for detection of acetic acid in wines. The first technique is based on the interaction of acetic acid volatiles with a specific receptor from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The receptor, which is encoded within a bacterial biosensor, will activate a reporter gene in the presence of volatiles of acetic acid. Project ID : 8-2018-4662
