OM PROSJEKTET
Abstract:
The 3-Biotic+ project aims to develop a complex, multifunctional 3-biotic product (having a pre-, pro- and post-biotic effect), standardized on bioactive peptides, by controlled fermentation of colostrum with an enhanced kefir bacterial consortium. From this product, a new range of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals will be further developed in the experimental development phase. The project objectives are: (i) to select enhanced kefir bacterial consortium, able to generate bioactive peptides and additional bioactive compounds into colostrum by fermentation; (ii) to optimize the fermentation process and to formulate the resulted product for nutraceutical and cosmeceutical applications; (iii) to demonstrate the functionalities of the products obtained from colostrum fermented by enhanced kefir bacterial consortium. One innovative approach is focused on bioactive peptides, as key component for standardization of the complex, 3-biotic product. Other innovation is the holistic approach of the complex multifunctional product, corresponding to the actual trend toward integrated and personalized health treatment. Also, it is envisaged the researches coordination and activities correlation between the project partners (one SME, an university and a R&D institute from Romania and one SME from Norway). Project starts from TRL3 technological level and the implementation phase (experimental development) of the project will scale-up the level to TRL7/TRL8. The main result is a multifunctional, 3-biotic product, standardized in bioactive peptides. This 3-biotic product will be further included into specific receipts of nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals and patented by the project partners. SME market position will be consolidated by the diversification of its innovative products range.
