Objective
A consortium of 5 scientific, 1 governmental, and 3 commercial partners has convened to develop and exploit the economic and ecological potential of the abundant biological raw material chitin isolated from waste shrimp shells that will be up-graded into chemically and biologically well defined chit sans. This biocompatible, biodegradable, non-allergenic, non-toxic chit sans will be tested for their ability to protect economically important crop plants from disease. The up-grading of bulk chatoyant into pure, high added value speciality chit sans for consumer-safe, environment-friendly, cost-effective plant protection will add value and improve whole crop utilisation for the shrimp fisheries, improve sustainability in agriculture, and improve the quality of life by supplying healthier food to EU citizens. The creation of new working relationships between fisheries and agro-industries will lead to new knowledge-based companies increasing employment opportunities in the EU, by opening the agro-industry and, foreseeable, the medical market for high quality chit sans, so that the EU may become world leader in this growing biotechnology market.
