Project activities

The table gives an overview of prioritised project activities in a long term perspective.

Area Relevant projects 2009-2013
MARKET

Development of a Norwegian bio marine ingredient industry based on by-products:

  • Co-operation between international market players and Norwegian ingredient industry
  • Structural processes within and across Norwegian ingredient industry and raw material suppliers (Industrial ”Clusters”)
  • Product standards
  • Generic marketing of ingredients
  • Continuance of industrial forum (MARING)
  • International market- and industry analysis
Continuance of DOCMAR; Generic documentation and novel functions of bio marine ingredients meant for functional food, cosmetics, food additives, feed additives, etc. (clinical tests etc.)

Market- and product oriented documentation:

  • Oils from salmon and codfish
  • Protein concentrate
  • Others

Increased export and domestic sale of marine by-products for the consumer market:

  • Further development of BiNor AS (a new sales- and marketing company for consumer by-products)
  • Branding
  • Logistic

Reduction of smell/taste and increased durability for marine ingredients in food articles.

New technology for production of marine ingredients from by-products and further processing of marine ingredients

Improved analyse methodology for protein hydrolysates.

Further development of existing feed ingredients from by-products.

Effective and quality oriented logistic for fresh by-products in the ingredient industry.

By-products as sustainable ingredients in fish feed.
COASTAL FLEET

Development of new fishing boats for more efficient handling of by-products (equipment, investments, testing, economy):
