Novel marine extracts

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.
