Enhanced protein fractionation from protein sources for their use in special food applications (WHEY2FOOD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Whey is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and is considered a promising raw material for various commercial applications due to its high-value components (e.g. proteins) and its large availability. Around 81 million tons of liquid whey was produced by the approximately 150,000 European cheesemakers in EU-27 in 2011. However, according to the European Whey Products Association (EW ...

Reverse Electrodialysis Alternative Power Production (REAPower)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
The project is focusing on the salinity gradient power – reverse electrodialysis (SGP-RE) process. It has been shown in scientific papers that the performance of the process can be increased by an order of magnitude when brine and sea or brackish water are used for the creation of the salinity gradient rather than the current approach of seawater with fresh water. The overall potential is very hig ...
