Our projects and studies for adding value to food co-products
PROCIDYS is dedicated to the processing of food co-products through innovative and sustainable projects. Our expertise covers fields such as seafood, algae, insects and plant products.
We develop processes to extract functional ingredients and biomolecules of interest, while promoting a circular economy.
Find out how we transform biomass into sustainable solutions for food, feed, cosmetics, nutraceuticals and agriculture.
Our areas of expertise
Enhancing the value of fishing co-products
- Marine hydrolysate: development and optimization of processes for extracting peptides and proteins.
- Processing of fish co-products: Development of solutions for the use of fish, shellfish and mollusc co-products.
- Development of new markets: Assistance in adding value to seafood products on a global scale for various markets: cosmetics, human nutrition, animal feed.
Extraction of biomolecules of interest
- Algae and microalgae: Development of processes to extract high value-added biomolecules.
- Plant products: adding value to fruit, vegetables, aromatic and medicinal plants and cereals by extracting bioactive compounds.
- Biomass: Conversion of biomass into functional ingredients for the cosmetics and nutraceutical industries.
Adding value to insects
- Insects : Processing insects into protein sources for human and animal consumption.
Sustainable development
- Natural fertilizers: Using by-products to create organic fertilizers.
- Aquaculture: Adding value to aquatic products for sustainable aquaculture.
Each project is designed to maximize the value of co-products and contribute to an environmentally-friendly circular economy.
