From the sea to the table: MARMADE featured on Scienza e Lode
MARMADE has been featured in Scienza e Lode, a web magazine dedicated to high-quality science communication, through an article highlighting the project’s contribution to a more sustainable food future. The feature presents MARMADE as a research initiative built around algae, crustaceans, and innovation, with the University of Camerino playing a key scientific role.
The article introduces MARMADE as a project funded under the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU), focused on the development of innovative, high–added-value food and feed ingredients derived from marine biomass. The project works with resources such as crustacean residues, including shrimp shells and blue crab, as well as green, red, and brown algae, exploring their potential within a circular bioeconomy framework.
Scientific coordination is led by Sauro Vittori from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Health Products, in collaboration with Serena Gabrielli and Germana Borsetta of the University of Camerino. Together, they describe how MARMADE combines scientific research and technological innovation to transform marine biomass into new food and feed solutions.
According to the article, MARMADE applies innovative technologies to extract bioactive compounds and develop products with improved nutritional and sensory characteristics. In this context, the sea is presented not only as an ecosystem to be protected, but also as a source of nutrition, innovation, and a sustainable future, capable of contributing to the development of new circular value chains.
