ITER and ULL have launched the project called ALOECAN in order to certify the authenticity and geographical origin of aloe and thus protect producers and consumers from potential fraud. The Instituto Tecnológico y de Energía Renovables (ITER), dependent on the Cabildo de Tenerife, leads the ALOECAN projectproject, which together with the University of La Laguna (ULL), aims to apply for the first time the traceability of inorganic and organic fingerprints of Canary Island aloe plants and products as a novel geochemical tool to contribute to the fight against fraud. The ALOECAN project project is part of the research line on…

The objective is to detect and identify spills of hydrocarbons, organic pollutants of human origin and waste that affect the fish farms located in the coastal marine environment of the island. At the same time, the quality of this environment will be monitored through the continuous analysis of environmental parameters and aerial images. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy (ITER), dependent on the Cabildo de Tenerife, in its eagerness to contribute to sustainable development and the protection of the marine environment, begins the execution tasks of the PERSEO project for the monitoring of the marine ecosystem through the processing…
