In Europe, large algae are often underused biomass that can be used sustainably for value creation. The MINERVA project aims to increase the utilization of large-scale algae produced in a sustainable way, improve their utilization and develop new valuable products.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis is placed on two types of brown algae, i.e. seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum<\/em>) and gillnets (Saccharina latissima<\/em>) but in addition more species will be studied such as marine nuclei (Alaria<\/em> esculenta<\/em>) and salt (Palmaria palmata<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to develop new and environmentally friendly algae ingredients for use in food, cosmetics, biotechnology and aquaculture. These goals will be achieved <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Development of new extraction methods to isolate and purify bioactive substances from large algae and <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Research on marine microorganisms using "omics" methods to develop new enzymes for the processing of marine biomass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    MINERVA is funded by ERA-NET Cofund Blue Bioeconomy and is a collaborative project of companies, universities and research companies in Ireland, Iceland and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
