Italy - Emilia Romagna
Activities will focus on the hydrolysis of proteins starting from 2 different feedstocks: food processing residues (FPR) from animal protein source (poultry manufacturing) and food processing residues from vegetal protein source (soybean processing). The production of protein hydrolysates, to be used directly as soil improvers, will be approached by using different proteases. The products will be characterized for their nitrogen content and amino acids composition and selected for further application as soil improvers.
