General idea:
BIOSEA is an innovative, cost-effective technology for maximizing aquatic biomass-based molecules for food, feed and cosmetic applications.

Description:
The overall objective of BIOSEA is the development and validation of innovative, competitive, and cost-effective upstream and downstream processes for the cultivation of 2 cyanobacteria/microalgae (Spirulina platensis and Isochrysis galbana), and 2 macroalgae (Ulva intestinalis and Saccharina latissima). The aim to produce and extract at least 6 high-value active principles at low cost (up to 55% less than with current processes) to be used in food, feed, and cosmetic/personal care as high-added value products.

TRL:
6. Technology demonstrated in relevant environment
