CURRENT PROJECTS
Coordinator: Dr. Christoph Glasner Duration: 2013-2016
Aim of the project is to initialize a change in the
process of milk and milk products production.
To minimize energy and water consumption
and establish the use of renewable energy
resources.
Making dairy industry ‘Green’.
Consortium - 21 partners from all over Europe.
Energy, water and Greenhouse gas emissions will
be reduced:
- by lesser fuel consumption for transport →
concentrated milk instead of whole raw milk leads to
volume reduction → less transport trucks necessary
-by substitution of fossil fuels by renewable fuels
(solar panells, heat pumps)
-by waste streams within dairy facilities that will be
converted into valuable products (biogas,
bioethanol, lactic acid)
- by decreasing water and cleaning chemicals
consumption through treatment and recycling
FINS role in the project with partners:
Fraunhofer, Germany
NTN University, Norway
KTU University, Lithuania
LNEG, Portugal
Mlekara Subotica, Serbia
Collection and analysis of CIP and waste water.
Evaluation of CIP water recycling by use of
ultrafiltration.
Potential for waste water to produce biogas and/or
bioethanol.
Microbiome Influence on Energy balance and Brain Development-Function Put into Action to Tackle Diet-related Diseases and behaviour Duration: 2013 -2018
Coordinator: Dr. Yolanda Sanz
The MyNewGut project is a multidisciplinary research consortium to
make findings from basic human microbiome science useful for
promoting healthier lifestyles to the public.
30 partners from 15 countries including experts in microbiology,
nutrition, physiology, immunology, brain research, computational
modelling and omics-technologies, such as
metagenomics and metabolomics, from EU and non-EU countries.
aggregate of microorganisms
that resides on the surface and in deep layers of skin,
in the saliva and oral mucosa,
in the conjunctiva and in the gastrointestinal tracts
Project objectives
1
Investigating the role of the gut microbiome
and its specific components in nutrient
metabolism and energy balance.
2
Understanding the influence of environmental
factors on the gut microbiome, in pregnancy
and during a baby’s development, and its impact
on brain, immune system and metabolic health.
3
Identifying specific gut microbiome components that
predict metabolic and eating disorders.
4
Developing new food ingredients and food
prototypes, by collaborating with EU food
industry, targeting the gut ecosystem to reduce the
risks of metabolic and brain-related disorders.
FINS role in the project with Mlekara
Subotica and University of Copenhagen
Design, production and evaluation of new
probiotic drink with selected beneficial
bacterial strain, and clinical study with new
drink at University of Copenhagen
