Use of oil mill by-products to improve fish rearing in an aquaponic plant and to enhance some fishery products of reduced commercial interest. Food processing, quality, security and safety interactions.

PRIN 2022 Rodriguez Estrada

Abstract

The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to use by-products from virgin olive oil production to improve circularity of fish rearing in an aquaponic plant and to valorise some fishery products of reduced commercial interest. The main objectives are: i) evaluation of the effect of phenols from olive vegetation water on immunoresponse and brood stock performance of fish during rearing; ii) evaluation of the effectiveness of rapid measurement systems in predicting best technological destinations for fresh fillet, as well as the freshness variation during storage; iii) possible employment of the vegetable part (Ulva spp) of the aquaponic system and underutilized fishery products as ingredients for new food product formulations.
