Development of new products to improve the memory and well-being of senior citizens through nutrient supplementation

Context

Nutrition is one of the new research paths for acting preventively on cerebral ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. This is a public health issue that would delay the dependency of the elderly in our society. Trout is a species rich in nutrients of interest, whose health effects suggest an opportunity in the functional-food and dietary supplement markets.

Objective

Developing new products to improve the memory and well-being of seniors through nutrient supplementation.

About the <strong>project </strong>

The project activities aim at developing an oil extraction and packing process, suited to the quality requirements and the needs of the companies (volumes, types of co-products…). Ultimately, it aims at producing fish oil of regional origin with full traceability. A clinical study is carried out in order to prove that consumption of the product allows for obtaining the expected results on the target population.
