P R O C E S S I N G Co-streams the way of the future When a fi sh is caught, only 25 to 50 per cent of its parts are processed. It’s even less with harvested rape-seed plants destined for cooking oil…just 10 to 40 per cent is used. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation, parts not used for food are called ‘co-streams’, and are included in other products such as animal feed. Co-streams, however, are an untapped source of food, health and agricultural products as they can be rich in proteins, fatty acids such as omega 3 and other valuable compounds. That’s why the organisation has set up the APROPOS project to develop processes that avoid chemicals and use little water or energy. The project’s aim is to help feed the world’s population more sustainably.

Anti-oxidising and anti-infl ammatory bioactive peptides extracted from fi sh and rapeseed…for skincare Insecticide from mustard seed residue… kills the oriental leaf worm moth. Lantto is happy with the project’s results. “We got a lot of new knowledge and ideas for process development. Project partners have built close links that they hope to maintain in future collaborations.” She says whilst the processes need a lot of technical development before they can be commercialised, interest in the project work is keen.
