Revalorization of wet olive pomace through polyphenol extraction and steam gasification (PHENOLIVE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

The residue generated by the olive oil process is known as wet olive pomace (WOP), which have high water content (up to 65%), and may contain between 2-8 g. polyphenols/Kg pomace, so more than 80% of the total polyphenol content in olives is lost in the waste material. This olive pomace is normally used for further extraction of pomace oil. For that application, it is dried prior to using organic ...

Reduction of microalgae harvesting costs via the development of an ultrasound flow cell to provide pre-concentration (ALGAEMAX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The worldwide production of microalgae is currently around 5,000 tons per year of dry algal biomass, and is used for livestock feed, fish meal, and high value extracts for dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Microalgae contain around 30% by weight of lipids/oil, and are regarded as a highly promising feedstock for biofuels, primarily biodiesel.Microalgae are comme ...
