Adding value to by-products obtained during the biotechnological production of squalene and DHA by the microalgae AURANTIOCHYTRIUMsp. (Algavalue)
PartnerIndustry National
The Algavalue project intends to optimize the biotechnological process of squalene production, of high health interest given its anti-oxidative and anti-carcinogenic properties, from a heterotrophic microalgae that, in certain growing conditions, besides producing significant amounts of squalene, produces other compounds of high value and commer...AFORE - Forest Biorefinery: Added Value Chemicals and Polymers by new integrated separation, fractionation and upgrading technologies (AFORE)
PartnerEuropean Comission
The approach of AFORE project is to develop novel, industrially adaptable and techno-economically viable bio-based solutions for the separation, fractionation, and primary upgrading of green chemicals from forest residues, wood chips, and chemical pulping liquors to be used as starting materials for current and novel value-added applications. It...AgroForWealth - Biorefinação de sub-Produtos agrícolas e florestais: uma estratégia de valorização de recursos para o bem estar social e a sustentabilidade (AGROFORWEALTH)
PartnerOther National
AgroForWealth aims to develop a strategy for the valorization of a multitude of agro-food and forest residues within the emerging circular economy concept, calling upon a well-defined set of common and integrated biorefinery approaches implementable in a single unit, and easily extended to any type of by-product, and to creat new products with n...BIIPP - Biorefinaria Integrada na Indústria da Pasta e Papel (BIIPP)
PartnerIndustry National
O objectivo do projecto tem como aspecto central o desenvolvimento de conhecimento e de processos que possibilitem a produção de biocombustíveis e bioprodutos a partir das correntes processuais e/ou residuais do processo de produção de pasta kraft, visando o aumento do valor acrescentado, através da síntese de produtos de origem renovável, e a r...Development strategies in preventing superficial scald and internal browning in Rocha pear and quality assurance in long-term storage (RESTORAGEPEAR)
PartnerIndustry National
Rocha pear sector deals with the difficult challenge posed by the European Union that bans the use of antioxidant "diphenylamine" (DPA). Without this antioxidant, Rocha pear (and some varieties of apples produced in Portugal) preservation during storage is reduced to three months, time when the symptoms of visual change of the fruits are more l...Ecopolyol - Desenvolvimento do processo de produção de polióis a partir de resíduos de biomassa (ECOPOLYOL)
