Project description
Move over vitamins and supplements and make way for extracts of small RNA pieces
We know we should get plenty of fruits and vegetables into our daily diets. We know about vitamins and minerals, and about fiber, and even the value of a colourful plate. However, most of us do not know about the microRNAs (miRNAs) in those fruits and vegetables that are largely responsible for their anti-inflammatory and general disease-preventing properties. The EU-funded project Mirnagreen, coordinated by the company of the same name, has developed proprietary technology to extract miRNAs from food biowaste and deliver a high-quality all-natural product. Targeting the nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals sectors first, Mirnagreen technology will enable creation of a circular economy that valorises outputs all along the food chain.
