CARTIF PROJECTS
AlternFeed
Description
AlternFeed is a Project in which CARTIF works with the National Association of Canned Seafood Manufacturers-National Center for the Conservation of Fishery Products (ANFACO- CECOPESCA).
Currently, aquaculture supplies more than 50% of the total fish consumed in the world is expected to be the main source of fishery products by 2030 depending too much on fish oil, fishmeal and krill oil as essential ingredients for food.
ALTERNFEED will assess sustainable alternatives to the use of fishmeal and fish oil or krill in the manufacturing of fish feed, providing added value to several alternative ingredients in order to take advantage of their characteristics and synergies.
Objectives
AlternFeed intends to evaluate the combination of three ingredients: Insect flour as a quality protein source, microalgae and the protein and lipid fraction recovered from cooking water from tuna canning processes.
For this purpose, the following objectives are proposed:
- Obtaining alternative ingredients.
- Characterization of the alternative raw materials obtained.
- Formulation and optimization of the manufacturing process through extrusion.
Actions
- Cultivation of microalgae and optimization of the recovery process of the protein and lipid fraction of canning industry effluents.
- Characterization of the alternative ingredients produced and its correlation with the optimal conditions.
- Formulation of aquaculture diets with the ingredients obtained and optimization of the extrusion process according to the formula, the aquaculture species and the feeding stage.
Expected results
-
Optimize the processes of obtaining alternative raw materials to replace fishmeal and fish oil.
-
Formulate and elaborate diets with an optimal nutritional composition for sea bass and trout at different stages of growth.
-
Validate at least one of the aquaculture diets for each species to relate the diets to the zootechnical parameters.

Food projects
VALORA-0
VALORA-0 is focused on the valorization of waste currents of CAMPOFRÍO FOOD GROUP.
CARNIVAL
CARNIVAL aims to generate new scientific and technological knowledge to create added value for waste and by-products from the meat sector, particularly in the sheep and pig sectors.
Study of the use of alternative protein sources from agro-industrial by-products.
Increase the extractability of protein sources and other compounds of nutritional interest, naturally present in by-products generated in the transformation processes of the food industry, through the use of “green technologies” of pre-treatment such as extrusion
GARNOVA
GARNOVA born as a response to gorwing cosumer demand for healthier snacks. Sugggests the development of a new range of innovative snacks, elaborated as of healthy, functional and with high content in essential macro and micronutrients.
CARNIQUS
CARNIQUS aims to respond to the current needs of the meat sector in terms of meticulous control of those parameters directly involved in the deterioration of its products.
NOVACARNI
NOVACARNI project aims to contribute to the production of a new meat food with a lower environmental impact, in order to promote the production of healthier and more environmentally friendly food.
MITIGACRYL
MITIGACRYL has as objective develop a quick and precise analytic method for the determination at the production line of the acrylamide levels through mid-near infrared technologies.
MEATING PLANTS
Explore new vegetable protein sources, mainly native legume species from Castilla y León region which, together with the inclusion of agri-food by-products and by means of using technologies such extrusion cooking and texturization, allow the generation of innovative and alternative-to-meat products with nutritional, functional and imporved organoleptic characteristics.
IN-PACT
IN-PACT will study the sustainable innovation and innovative practices among the agri-food supply chain in the european union, to respond to how we are in the transition trend towards a more sustainable food system.
FUSILLI
FUSILLI project focuses on supporting cities to facilitate their transition towards more sustainable food systems, in line with Food2030 priorities. Combines the expertise of 34 partners from 13 countries including cities, universities, SMEs, NGOs and industries.
COLOR
The “COLOR” project is a collaborative business initiative aimed at providing solutions to one of the most important needs of the food sector today: the reduction of acrylamide in industrially processed foods.
NUTRIBER
Application of new technologies on the development of a nutritionally improved iberian bacon. Reducing the sodium content in the formulation and limiting nitrites/nitrates.
INBEC
INBEC Project try to promote and develop a sustainable economy through innovation and business cooperation. To this end, it is proposed to use a methodology that maximizes the potential of the Bioeconomy.
GO INPULSE
The INPULSE Operating Group (GO_INPULSE) was created to strengthen the cultivation of legumes in Spain and reduce the external dependence of protein for feed through the joint work of different actors.
GO INSECT
GO_INSECT investigate the possibilities of insects as a source of alternative and sustainable protein for food and identify the necessary requirements that ensure the technical-economic viability of projects related to industrial breeding of insects
PRIMICIA
The progress of studies in this area, will allow to specify diets based on the specific requirements of each person and will allow to determine a personalized nutrition for populations with common characteristics, particular groups and individuals
PROALI
The PROALI Project develop the application of new technologies for food development, searching for opportunities in new matrices that can be used for the formulation of flours aimed at groups of young people, focusing on gluten-free raw materials.
CRUCAMI
The CRUCAMI project develops and formulates new snacks and meat products cooked from beef jerky.
The objective is the launch of new snacks and cooked meat products pastrami type from cecina.
CIEN PROGRESO
The CIEN PROGRESO Project develop innovative solutions for protein processing and its application in new food products adapted to population groups with specific needs.
INNOLIVO
INNOLIVO uses new technologies and processes for the development of innovative olivar products intended for new international markets of high added value
CAMPOFRÍO
The CAMPOFRÍO project studies and develops a process for reducing salt content in cured ham. Development of a salt content evaluation system in sliced cured ham with on-line NIR technology.
DINAMO
The DINAMO project is responsible for the development and validation of nanocapsule and nanostructure production technologies of active molecules with functional properties for food use.
