Extracts obtained from seafood processing discards have many
un-explored and under-exploited properties. Fish enzymes, protein
and mineral extracts, and biomolecules extracted from fish collagen
or lipid sources, promise a wide range of unique biological, chemical
or physical functionalities. Our understanding of seafood composition,
and our combined seafood biochemistry and bioprocessing skills (including
the ability to scale up from lab bench to pilot plant) mean that we
develop and deliver high quality innovations in this area.
Applications for novel marine ingredients are
found in fortified foods, cosmetics, pet food, animal feeds, dietary
supplements, bioactive packaging and industrial products. The primary
focus of our effort in this area is to research and demonstrate
concept products and applications to potential customers, then work
with them to develop commercial processes for ingredient and finished
goods manufacture.
