New Advances in the integrated Management of food processing wAste in India and Europe: use of Sustainable Technologies for the Exploitation of byproducts into new foods and feeds

NAMASTE is a project under the coordinated call between the European Union (EU) and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, with participants from both EU countries and India. The main aim of the NAMASTE Project is to develop innovative, comprehensive and industry-relevant approaches for the valorization of citrus, mango and pomegranates by-products and wheat and rice bran through the environmentally and economically sustainable conversion of these by-products into healthy food ingredients, foods and feeds. In particular the activities of the NAMASTE-EU Consortium focu on citrus by-products and wheat bran processing in order tol develop and assess laboratory-scale experimental protocols to convert by-products into food ingredients and new foods with improved nutritional properties, along with a new citrus/mango based feed for aquaculture.
