BIOSEAFOOD Bioactive compounds from seafood byproducts
Coordinator: MATIS OHF (IS)
This project aims to follow the fate of three groups of aquatic bioactive compound from raw material to active cellular site; long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFA), fish peptides and seaweed polyphenols. The focus is to study if there are bioactivity losses prior to ingestion (i.e. during storage in a food product) or during gastrointestinal (GI) digestion and investigate wether there may be potential positive/deleterious effects of the compounds after digestion. This work will be done in collaboration with Chalmers University and University of Florida, USA. Omega-3 PU…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
EU contribution: €100k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2009-04-01 to 2013-03-31.
