The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

The aim is to study the effects of superchilling (0-(-4)°C) on the physcochemical characteristics of cod and what is gained compared to traditional chilling methods. The risk by using superchilling is that the temperature in the muscle may be lowered too much, leading to ice formation, which may have negative effects on the water holding properties of the fish muscle. The effects of temperature on salt uptake and ice formation will be evaluated. Effects of superchilling on enzyme activity with regard to temperature and salt concentration will be evaluated. Superchilling of fillets (0-(-2)°C) will be compared to traditional chilling processes (0-2°C) by evaluation of protein denaturation, water holding capacity and spoilage. The results will be used to estimate the value of these methods with regard to storage life of fresh products compared to traditional methods. The knowledge gained in the project will increase understanding on changes occurring in fish muscle during superchilling. Results may be used in future research projects in this field and to improve chilling processes in the fish industry, leading to increased value and quantity in fresh fish export.
