Development of a recipe for ready-to-eat meals as functional food, dedicated to selected consumer groups, preserved using an innovative pascalization method.

Project location: Fruktus Agros Nova Sp. z o. o. Sp.k., Wąsosz Dolny, ul. Traugutta 130, 42-110 Popów

The project is implemented under the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship for 2014-2020 (European Regional Development Fund) for Priority Axis: I. Modern economy for Measure: 1.2. Research, development and innovation in enterprises.

The aim of the project is to develop new vegetable products based on groats, vegetables and herbs dedicated to three identified consumer groups: diabetics, people suffering from Hashimoto's disease and people with reduced immunity.

The economic goal of the project is to introduce currently unavailable pasteurized vegetable products, such as salads and vegetable creams, to the market. This will be possible thanks to the development of technology for preserving these dishes using an HPP device.

The implementation of this project will enable the development of innovative products and production technologies for the resulting dishes, ensuring a product with a consistent flavor and retaining valuable nutrients, including vitamins and minerals. By leveraging currently available scientific knowledge and skills, the new high-pressure preservation technology (HPP) developed within the project will prepare for implementation completely innovative products compared to those currently available on the market.
