Hofseth Biocare granted patent for new method for processing fish offcuts (Video)
(NORWAY, 10/1/2019)
Biotech company Hofseth BioCare ASA (HBC) has been granted a patent for "a new method to improve enzyme hydrolysis and resultant protein flavor and bio-activity of fish offcuts”, with the use of turbine mixing during enzymatic hydrolysis of aquatic protein from species such as fish, aquatic mammals, crustaceans and/or mollusks.
Hydrolyzed Protein - ProGo - Salmon Protein Hydrolysate powder is the fastest absorbing protein supplement in the marketplace
With this patent, no. 3399871, HBC now holds the IP on hydrolysis processing of not only salmon off-cuts but all fish species. This lays the foundation for HBC to lead the development of high-end protein extraction of fish off-cuts and create a new platform for growth in the coming years. The result of the method is higher quality aquatic protein hydrolysates, having very low oxidation, improved organoleptic profile and improved biological activity of interest, especially for human consumption and cosmetics.
The company highlights that this is important in the long-term strategy on differentiating their protein hydrolysates from conventional protein products to human health.
The patent has already been approved by the Norwegian patent authorities. Hofseth BioCare are continuing to pursue this patent application in other major jurisdictions globally, including Canada, USA, Chile, Peru et al.
