A projekt tartalmának bemutatása:
The NeoGiANT project demonstrates at pre-industrial scale a sustainable natural-based extraction process for the recovery of LOW-COST POLYPHENOLS from white grape marc biomass to produce natural antimicrobial and antioxidant high value products, meeting market trends in FEED, PHARMA and ARTIFITIAL INSEMINATION niche SECTORS with key actors involved in the implementation, increasing the actual demand request for more affordable natural functional products from alternative sources. Key industrial players will validate how low-cost bio-based NeoGiANT formulations show better performance and higher sustainability within KPIs proposed.
Customers demand solutions for animals’ health with no side effects for animals and final consumers. They also demand environmentally friendly products. Natural extracts produced within the NeoGiANT project fulfil these demands. Natural extracts will be produced as an alternative to synthetic compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant capacities. NeoGiANT products are based on 3 pillars 1) the use of local biomass sources 2) Cost-effective, Ref. Ares(2021)1034538 - 05/02/2021

efficient and sustainable production 3) Obtained functional ingredients in sustainable circular economy production systems.
NeoGiANT will validate (TRL7) solutions to ensure sustainable food production in the future, considering the increasingly uncertain environmental conditions and move towards resource-smart, climate-smart and "eco-healthy" production and consumption. NeoGiANT ingredients KEY VALUE PROPOSITION is developing and testing functionality under the perspective of animal health with a production cost of 5.4 €/kg, reducing environmental impacts, contributing to the circular economy. These new products, based on natural extracts using an advanced isolation technique, will not only avoid the growth of microorganisms but also improve the health and welfare of the animals, increasing profitability. The proposal is based on the use of biomass sources that can provide cost-effective, efficient and green solutions to deliver functional ingredients in sustainable circular economy production systems. The target products to be developed will be designed to control a large number of diseases of paramount importance in animal production, both in livestock and aquaculture. As a result, NeoGiANT aims to provide effective alternatives to the main antibiotics used in animal production, contributing to the goal of reducing their use, by their use only to the treatment of severe infections and not as an indiscriminate preventive action. At the same time, the speed of emergence of new antimicrobial resistances (AMR) will be reduced, and existing antimicrobial resistances will be better controlled.
