A Blue way to a sustainable Europe
We will use low-value animal feed ingredients or currently wasted biomass to produce healthy food ingredients and high-value products for human consumption.
In this project we use high-quality proteins and bioactives from European aquaculture and fisheries sidestreams. We combine these sidestreams with microalgae cultivation systems for applications in nutritional supplements, innovative food, cosmetics, biomaterials, and animal feed.
The project aims to promote the efficient utilisation of biomasses, and with a food-first-zero-waste approach. We aim to minimize waste, the use of resources and pollution.
When utilising the biomasses in combination with microalgae, we will create interesting products with potential health benefits. Through the project we will develop several products. These products will be documented through feeding, lab, sensory, consumer and clinical trials. The project will address challenges associated with taste, odour, bioactivity, safety, and consumer acceptance, to ensure that products are of high quality and can be effectively brought to the market.
