Quale bisogno soddisfa

Valorization of Agro-Industrial by-products: Reducing waste by utilizing scraps and residues from the Agro-Industrial chain.

Production of High-Value Biostimulants: Developing innovative formulations with biostimulant activity to enhance crop growth and resilience.

Increase in Agricultural productivity: Supporting crops in coping with abiotic stress and improving Agricultural yields.

Descrizione

Production of Biostimulants through Controlled Hydrolysis of Proteins Isolated from Microalgal Biomass and Agro-Industrial By-Products

The process is based on the extraction and valorization of microalgal biomass, rich in proteins and bioactive metabolites, as well as by-products generated by the agro-industrial chain, such as plant waste or processing residues. Controlled hydrolysis is applied to break down proteins into bioactive peptides and amino acids, which are essential for stimulating physiological processes in plants, improving their growth, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality.

This approach offers a sustainable and circular alternative to traditional biostimulants, contributing to the reduction of organic waste and promoting agricultural sustainability. The resulting biostimulants can be formulated for specific applications, tailored to the needs of different crops and environmental conditions.
