In a groundbreaking stride towards sustainable aquaculture practices, the OleaF4value project has embarked on its main salmon trial at the Institute of Marine Research (IMR). With invaluable contributions from Mowi Feed, the project aims to shed light on the potential benefits of utilizing phytoactive components sourced from olive tree leaves in enhancing the immune system
BioReCer aims to ensure the environmental performance and traceability of the biological feedstock used by the bio-based industries, deploying guidelines to strengthen the current certification schemes. Within this approach, the added value, the use, as well as social acceptance of bioproducts will be increased. To fulfil this goal, BioReCer is structured in three main technological
Threat of Xylella Fastidiosa Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen transmitted by xylem fluid-feeding insects, specifically the spittlebug (Philaenus spumarius). The bacterium colonizes the xylem vessels of the plant, blocking the uptake of the nutrients and water essential for plant health. Once this happens, severe symptoms of Xylella become apparent. As there is currently
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impact of a process, product, or service. With the information obtained from the LCA, it is possible to identify areas of opportunity where the process, product or service can be improved, not only reducing the negative environmental impact but also finding gaps where resources are being wasted
On June 26th, 2023 the OLEAF4VALUE EU project, hosted two insightful, industry & research focused workshops on biomass valorisation where experts and stakeholders from the field gathered to exchange their knowledge on success cases on the bioeconomy. Organisations such as the University of Florence, Martin Luther King University at Halle-Wittenberg, BIOPLAT, Natac, NIZO, participated
On Wednesday July 5th, OLEAF4VALUE was among the projects presented at the clustering conference "Promotion of the Andalusian bioeconomy through European projects" organised by the Andalusian Technological Corporation. The aim of this event held at the Andalusia Technology Park (Malaga) was to serve as a meeting point to connect different European projects with Andalusian
At the Institute of Marine Research, experts in nutrition and fish health are investigating whether extracts from olive leaves can modulate resilience to viral diseases. The hypothesis is that by including olive leaf extracts in the salmon diet, the fish become less sick when infected with a virus. Finding ways that can contribute to
We are at Mibelle involved in the Oleaf4Value project in possible encapsulations and formulations of the different extracts, focusing in the generation for liposomes towards market applications.A liposome is a small vesicle composed of a lipid double layer. It is formed through a process called self-assembly, where the lipids arrange themselves in a specific manner
The MLU uses the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (figure 1) as a simple and well-established model organism to analyze the bioactivity of olive leaf extracts. The different extracts generated in the OLEAF4VALUE project (figure 2) have to be investigated concerning possible beneficial effects (high „bioactivity“) to find new innovative applications, e.g. in pharmaceutical
Problems related to biodiversity loss are seriously affecting the olive sector, one of the most important cultivars from a cultural and economic point of view. Emerging diseases and climate change effects daily threaten this sector. The last dry seasons have caused the decrease of olive oil production up to 57 %. The genetic erosion
