Recently, a really interesting project was launched at Matís in collaboration with the University of Iceland, a project that has been named Nýbylgja bragð. The aim of the project is to develop valuable healthy flavors from large algae that can replace salt and be used as flavor enhancing units, ie. substances / compounds or their natural mixtures. The unique properties of the flavors will be used to develop less salty and tastier foods.
It is expected that the flavoring will be used to reduce the use of salt in food and also as a flavoring ingredient for food. A 3D (3D) food printer will be used to develop new healthy products with low salt content, cool appearance and good taste.
The project is part of a master's project in Food and Nutrition University of Iceland.
It should be noted that the project is based on previous projects that have been carried out at Matís; national, Nordic and European projects.
The project is funded by AVS.
