NAMASTE EU – Strategies
WP3: Natural ingredients for new
foods: pre-treatment of byproducts, recovery & production of
natural molecules
WP4: New Foods and feed
formulation and production
WP5: Innovative protocols and
economic evaluation
WP7: Technology transfer & dissemination
To develop innovative, comprehensive and
industr y-relevant approaches for the
valorization of citrus, mango and pomegranates
by-products and wheat and rice bran through
environmentally and economically sustainable
conversion of these by-products for developing
nutritionally enriched food and feed ingredients.
NAMASTE Industrial Platform (IP)
Wp2: Characterization &
stabilization of by-products from EU
industries on wheat & and citrus
WP1: Management & Coordination
Aim
An Industrial platform (IP) has been established
in order to boost the interaction between
knowledge organizations and industries of
Europe and India, thus enabling a better
targeting of research activities and favouring
technology transfer. Members of the platform
will be informed on the progress of the project
through a 6-montly e-mail newsletter and will
have the opportunity to be invited to annual
meetings.
About NAMASTE
A proactive EU-India cooperation effort will be
adopted to enhance mutual benefits, in terms of
both knowledge generation and market
expansion for the global food and drink
