Start year 2022 End year 2025 Funding (€) € 1,295,000 Website https://bluebioeconomy.eu/improved-processing-to-enhance-seafood-sidestream-valorization-and-exploration/ Summary The main aim of the IMPRESSIVE project is to improve the extraction of
added value compounds such as LC MUFA-, PUFA-rich oils, bioactive
peptides and chitosan from underutilized seafood side streams (fishery
and crustacean) in terms of yield and quality by using emerging nonthermal technologies as advanced pre-treatments (pulsed electric field,
high pressure, ultrasound, etc.) for further applications in the food and
nutraceutical industries. The consortium will gather researchers with
multidisciplinary background and expertise from 4 European countries
along with manufacturing companies to optimize the recovery of bioactive ingredients. The project will use different eco-friendly chemical and enzymatic processes to separate, extract and purify protein, lipid, and
polysaccharide fractions from seafood side streams. The obtained compounds will be characterized and analyzed for bioactivity and bioavailability, health promoting properties (antioxidant, antiinflammatory, hypocholesterolemic and anti-diabetic activities,etc.), and further tested in food and nutraceutical products as new ingredients aiming to enhance the nutritional profile and quality of the end-products.
Consumer studies will be conducted to assess consumer acceptance of the new products.
