ENRICHMAR Convenience Food Enriched with Marine based Raw Materials

Coordinator: MATIS OHF (IS)

Recent process improvements have created new possibilities for the use of marine based ingredients in functional foods. Consumers tend to favour functional foods over supplementary pills as means to prevent diseases. The market for these types of products is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. By adding marine-based bioactive ingredients from low value by-products and underutilised raw material to foods they obtain added value, both economical, for health and more sustainable use of resources.

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: €1.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2014-01-01 to 2015-12-31.
