TMCI Padovan is excited to announce the filing of a new method to produce edible oils from microalgae, microscopic photosynthetic organisms.
TMCI Padovan funded a research project in collaboration with the Department of Biology of the University of Padua, together with scientists Tomas Morosinotto and Francesca Bucci.
The company’s R&D division and the department, in close collaboration with each other, have identified a particular type of microalgae that produces oil with an ideal composition for typical applications in the food industry.
This type of production can complement, and potentially replace, the use of vegetable oils such as palm oil which, despite its widespread use in the food industry, has a recognized lack of sustainability. All this could have a strong impact on our way of considering “good food” and allows the company to take another step towards the complete implementation of the principles of the circular economy.
