ForSea - Formulation of seaweeds to high-value ingredients for food and nutraceuticals markets
ForSea aims to improve the properties of cultivated brown and green algae and to develop new food products and ingredients.
The project focuses on enhancing the nutritional quality, food safety, and functional characteristics of cultivated macroalgae. Using sustainable processing technologies — including fermentation — ForSea will develop new ingredients and food products from both whole crops and residual biomass, ensuring maximum resource utilisation.
The project will also develop and characterise innovative food prototypes, which will undergo sensory evaluation and health‑effect assessments. These include prebiotic analyses and a clinical study of a particularly promising product. Environmental and economic considerations are integrated throughout the entire process chain to support sustainable value creation.
