Innovativ og bærekraftig bruk av polyfenoler fra makroalger som antioksidanter i akvakulturernæring

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The fish feed industry must prioritize marine-derived bioactive compounds, such as macroalgae, for sustainable natural antioxidants. Norway, with its extensive coastline and strong seaweed production sector, is well-positioned to lead in this field. However, much of this potential is still untapped, with valuable compounds wasted during alginate production. Implementing zero-waste extraction methods for natural antioxidants is essential for reducing oxidative stress in fish and meeting EU sustainability goals. This project will optimize the extraction of natural antioxidants from Norwegian seaweeds for fish nutrition, greatly improving oxidative health and advancing global sustainability in aquaculture.
