Murcia is the land that lemon is something Murcia are archived in their genetic code.
Lemon is the golden fruit Murcia.
No doubt it was the large number of these citrus in the region prompting Sanchez-Campillo to investigate how to take advantage of the product generated in its industrialization in developing peach preserves and other foodstuffs.
After his retirement in 1999, Pedro Sánchez Sánchez-Campillo has continued to provide their expertise, knowledge and advice in the National Technology Centre Food and Canning.
"My job has always been to implement a new technology industry that would occur in the food industry, I have never lost touch with the university since my field work in the factory, trying to get products that are environmentally friendly with technologies that treated in the best way possible. "
In CTNC, which Pedro Sanchez-Campillo goes daily, all are younger than him.
Probably, the average does not approach even half of the 79 who exhibited in his ID, "Working assumed that one has to face on a daily basis to the difficulties of the job and try to overcome them, which I personally stays in shape, but it is also exciting and rejuvenating. "

"
Reading the doctoral thesis will undoubtedly be the culmination of that spirit of service that their actions have presided lifetime.
Pedro Sanchez-Campillo began his training at the Technology Center National Food and Canning when he was still the Research Association of Canned Vegetable Industry (LCIA), founded in 1962 to raise awareness of the new companies in the agrifood sector.
He then worked in the private sector until his retirement in 1999, he returned to the center of their origins.

The tests performed in this study has enabled the development of three kinds of jam-one without sugar, diabetic-friendly, all of excellent quality and taste suitable for the most demanding palates.
Sanchez-Campillo also emphasizes that treated lemon peel offers a wide range in the food industry for the preparation of fruit and vegetable purees, pastas, soups, sauces, custard, ice cream bases, etc.
