sustainable food Applications

The long-term well-being of people worldwide depends on agricultural production systems that can maximise resources without depleting them. The demand for more sustainable agriculture comes from a well-informed public as well as companies all along the supply chain, increasing the pressure to improve very complex systems without decreasing output.

Processors are continually facing changing environmental regulations, rising costs for wastewater disposal, increasing utility costs, and a growing demand for green products manufactured using sustainable operations. These factors are driving food and beverage processors to pursue on-site wastewater treatment. ADI Systems’ wastewater treatment technology portfolio and experience can provide treatment solutions from pretreatment through to producing effluent of direct-discharge and/or water-reuse quality. Our vast experience in the food and beverage industry includes custom treatment solutions for dairy (milk, cheese, whey, yogurt, and ice cream), soft drink, fruit and vegetable processing (potatoes, corn, tomatoes), snack food, prepared meals, confectionery, and many others.

Concurrent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s final rule establishing regulations to require current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) for dietary supplements, PTL can offer cGMP services to all supplement manufacturers. PTL has sustained its FDA registration since 1994, which involves rigorous inspections by FDA every 2 years or sooner. According to the final rule, proper controls must be in place for dietary supplements to be produced in a consistent manner for identity, purity, strength, and composition. PTL’s particle characterization tests can be conducted following FDA regulations. Valuable testing such as particle size and shape, image analysis, B.E.T. surface area, pore volume and pore size can be analyzed under cGMP compliance. These analyses can give insight into absorption, strength, and composition of the material being processed.

Production of biofuels from certain microalgae and cyanobacteria would appear to be the most promising alternative to current methods, since its yield is very high, sustainable, uses either wastewater, brackish or seawater, does not require the use of agricultural land, does not compete with human food and the cultivation process consumes the CO₂noxious gas.

ALGAENERGY is responsibly paving the way towards making microalgal-based biofuels industrially profitable.  The R&D projects assigned to this task include work on selection and genetic engineering of different microalgae to produce substantial lipid-carriers, some of them patented, as well as the establishment of a suitable and scalable production process.
