==Professional Career==
==Professional Career==
In 1978 Westerveld was cofounder, with a current and future rector and three professors of the University of Murcia, of the company Zoster S.A. (Zeneta, Murcia) destined for manufacturing of natural extracts. There he was in charge of sales abroad and the innovation of natural products destined for the pharmaceutical and alimentary industries. His role in the company was that of promoter of many natural extracts, among them the sweetener Neohesperidin Dihdrochalcone made from oranges. After the company was bought by a multinational he created his own firm in 1989 with the mission to research and promote natural extracts and products in other industries. Among them was the Rosemary Extract in the company Fufural Español S.A. This company, later called Nutrafur, produced high qualities and quantities, which again resulted in an acquisition of the company, this time by an Israeli multinational, in 2015, three years after retirement of Westerveld.
