Marine functional foods
The global market in marine functional foods is worth approximately $74 billion. Our project is to help Ireland become a major player in this market.
We will do this by increasing our ability to identify new marine ingredients and products.
- Methods
- Funding bodies
- Collaborators
Our research will explore marine life for sources of food and ingredients. We will concentrate on three primary areas:
1. Using waste from fish processing
2. Using under-used fish and seaweed sustainably
3. Developing value-added products
We will also create links between researchers and the food and pharmaceutical industries.
