Enabling Flagship-Scale bioeconomy innovation: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden Participation in CBE-JU IAFlag-04

Purpose and goal

The envisioned project aims to develop scalable and sustainable valorization pathways for dairy side-streams into high-value food ingredients. The goal is to strengthen circular bioeconomy innovation, improve resource efficiency, and support future resilient food systems through industrially relevant bioprocessing solutions.

Expected effects and result

Expected results include scalable bioprocessing solutions for converting dairy side-streams into high-value food ingredients, enabling improved resource efficiency, reduced waste generation, and new product formulations with the ingredient and industrial opportunities within the circular bioeconomy and sustainable food sectors.

Planned approach and implementation

The project will validate scalable bioprocessing solutions for converting dairy side-streams into high-value food ingredients through fermentation and downstream processing. Activities include feedstock characterization, pilot- and demo-scale validation, product formulations using the ingredient, product co-creation, and assessment of technical, environmental, and market feasibility together with industrial partners across the dairy and food value chain.
