Our aim is to refine and valorise seaweed to produce seaweed-modified functional ingredients for aquafeed. We will achieve this by identifying benign pre-treatment processes to extract the bioactive compounds from seaweeds and green-techniques to modify the functional ingredient as a highly digestible nutrient with an immunomodulating function for the aquafeed industry.
By identifying combinations of pre-treatment processes and green extraction technologies, the aquafeed industry will be offered multi-functional feed ingredients boosting fish health and growth.
This will boost growth of both fed and non-fed aquaculture throughout Europe.
