Description
Short description of the project: MACBIOBLUE was a three-year technology-transfer demonstration project financed by Interreg, aimed helping companies to develop new products, including fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and fish food, and processes in the context of Macaronesian Blue Biotechnology (algae).
Tangible results: The project allowed for the development of new products and new-algae to help companies diversify their markets. For instance, the project developed a process to produce a gourmet pink salt containing a green microalgae called Dunaliella salina.
Application/relevance: The project has successfully developed several processes and technologies on a semi-industrial scale that can be easily applied to aquaculture, agriculture, aquaponics, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.
