PROMISEANG’s goal is to formulate zero-waste procedures for producing proteins via fermentation of non-conventional marine biomass. It then looks to use the proteins to create nutritious, high-value, sustainable food, feed and non-food products.
To this end, the project aims to:
– understand the requirements for use of marine food biowaste and by-products as a fermentation substrate;
– use biomass fermentation to produce sustainable, healthy, protein-rich microbial extracts;
– confirm the nutritional value, safety and health benefits of the new food and feed products;
– determine the sustainability of the new proteins compared to currently available alternatives;
– foster development of the circular economy by recovering bioactive compounds from fermentation side streams;
– maximise project impact through exploitation activities and dissemination of results to various audiences.
