Student Research Group Commodum Cantavit deals extensively with the quality and consumer popularity of food, industrial, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.  Bio, eco, organic and many other so-called ‘natural’ products are the basis for conscious and responsible consumption, which in our view is pro-environmental, harmonious, low-carbon and low-cost. We design products that do not emit anything into the environment that does not naturally occur in it, adhering to our motto ‘Nature knows best’. We assess product ingredients in terms of, among others, their availability, functionality, low levels of processing, ease of assessment of physicochemical indices and ecological characteristics, by means of state-of-the-art analytical equipment and fast and simple methods for analysing measurement data. We examine products and raw materials in the natural category for their antioxidant and health-enhancing qualities, as well as their sensory attributes. These are:

• herbs and herbal products,
• spices,
• flavoured honeys,
• cosmetic creams and emulsions,
• beverages such as coffee and tea,
• natural food raw materials, i.e.: fruits of wild plants, mushrooms, algae and inflorescences of edible plants,
• beeswax and vegetable waxes.
