The objective of SUSPUFA project is to develop an innovative process for sustainable production of high value n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) using agro food industry by-products through microalgae cultivation and to evaluate produced n-3LCPUFAs as fish oil replacement for incorporation in food formulations.Scientific evidence points out that an appropriate intake of n-3 LCPUFA, widely known as ‘omega-3’, exhibit protective effect on human health. Health-promoting algae n-3 LCPUFA produced in sustainable way will be incorporated in formulations in order to create high added values food products intended to improve the health status of the consumer.
