Under these conditions, enzymatic mechanisms develop that increase the bioavailability of the almond&#8217;s nutrients. The process also involves the subsequent cold peeling of the almonds to test the nutritional changes of both the almond in its natural state and the peeled almond. The final stage of the process is the dehydration with dry air at low temperature (below 42\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<p>The project applies these innovative techniques while respecting product quality and environmental sustainability in the context of organic and regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n<h3>Activation and pre-germination have many potential benefits:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase in vitamins<\/strong>, especially vitamin E;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased content of antioxidant compounds<\/strong>, which contribute to protection against oxidative stress;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduction of antinutritional compounds<\/strong> such as phytic acid by making minerals more easily absorbed by the body, especially calcium;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activation of enzymes<\/strong> such as amylase and protease, thereby improving nutrient digestion and absorption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114378\" style=\"width: 299px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-114378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA.jpg\" alt=\"Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA\" width=\"299\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA.jpg 932w, https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA-768x1318.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA-895x1536.jpg 895w, https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA-245x420.jpg 245w, https:\/\/www.bioecoactual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Progetto_Bioma_NEUROFARBA-696x1195.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Neurofarba Lab.
