  • Pilot | iDVP: Integral Discharges Valorization Point

    Developed within the Life iSEAS project, in iDVP, the biorefinery concept is applied to the integral revalorization of fishing discards. It consists of devices for crushing/grinding/homogenization, autoclave, meat-bone separator for fish mince production, 300-500 L reactors configured for controlled chemical/enzymatic hydrolysis, biocompound separation and purification systems including tricanter centrifuges and membrane equipment (micro and ultrafiltration), and devices used for concentration (vacuum evaporator) and drying (freeze-dryer and spray dryer).

  • Patent | Procedure to prevent fish rankness and quality loss in fresh and processed products

    Authors: Isabel Medina; Jose manuel Gallardo Abuin; Ana Alonso Pérez; Manuel Pazos Palmeiro; Juan Fernandez Bolaños Guzman; Isabel Sanchez Alonso

    Prevention of fish rankness and quality loss consists in reducing susceptibility to oxidation through the production of an oxygen barrier by glazing and the addition of hydroxythyrosol as a natural water-soluble antioxidant. The technique is also applicable to fish and crustacean products. More detailed information can be found here.
