Food & Nutraceuticals

Microalgae are natural sources of highly valuable bioactive compounds, such as vitamins, essential amino acids, carotenoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, carotenoids, enzymes and fibers and have a long history of use as foods and for the production of food ingredients capable of improving the well-being and quality of life, but also by curtailing disease and illness risks.

Authorisations of novel foods and novel food ingredients are regulated differently from country to country.

Training network for exploring microalgae diversity for the development of novel antiviral compounds

Project number: 101086437

Objectives:

  • Develop transcriptomics and metabolomics resources from microalgae diversity as a valuable source of novel lectins and polyphenols with antiviral properties
  • Develop and optimize application-based microalgae culture systems at different scales and optimize culture conditions and downstream processing strategies for higher production rate of desired products
  • A range of different unexploited so far strains (extremophiles) that display high ability to produce polyphenols will be characterised and assessed
  • Develop, formulate and in vitro evaluate a new range of cosmetic products with antiviral activity, based on microalgae polyphenols and lectins
  • Provide a platform for the efficient transfer of knowledge and training between the academic and commercial partners

Identify and exploit new and emerging market opportunities

Blue Bioeconomy Pact – Algae Vertical

Pacto da Bioeconomia Azul - Vertical Algas

Reference: C644915664-00000026

Objectives:

  • The Blue Bioeconomy Pact (Pacto da Bioeconomia Azul, PBA) has the main goal to drive the development of a cutting-edge industrial sector in Portugal, based on applying marine bioresources to a range of industries. The consortium is made up of 83 Portuguese organisations, organized in 7 industrial verticals.
  • The Algae Vertical is one of the PBA verticals and is led by Necton. Its main objective is to valorise the entire value chain of the Algae sector in Portugal. Therefore, it has around 40 entities from the Portuguese business and academic sector, focused on the use of nutrients or waste from other industries, the digitalization/automation of production processes, the improvement of knowledge about algae and the development of new products based on algae.

REALM

Reusing Effluents from Agriculture to unLock the potential of Microalgae

Grant agreement ID: 101060991

Goal: REALM will transform nutrient-rich drain waters from soilless farms into value, by producing microalgae at reduced costs while treating water and capturing CO2 from the air. This concept will increase the circularity and profitability of microalgal production and soilless farming.
