The Biotechnology Centre of Azores (CBA) aims to be a strategic R&amp;D unit in Biotechnology, and its interaction with Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The CBA conducts applied and basic research and will help to bridge the gap between research and market, creating new jobs, ideas, knowledge and education for an inclusive and innovative society. Given the geological nature, biodiversity and location of the Azores, the genetic resources available here arouse scientific interest, positioning the archipelago as a laboratory of excellence. Considering this, the CBA outlined objectives focused on the knowledge and valorization of endogenous resources, applicable not only locally, but also at the global level. The CBA goal is to promote excellent research, advanced education and technology transfer, to be competitive within the international research community, highlighting the regional natural resources as a source for competitive research, innovative products and solutions. Through a multidisciplinary research group, it aims to study and sustainably use the endogenous genetic resources with the biotechnological potential to benefit the agricultural, bioindustrial and environmental sectors. Scientific Objectives rely on the integration of different scientific subjects and competencies to develop two interconnected research themes: i) Plant health and bio interactions and ii) Sustainable management and biotechnological exploitation of Azorean natural resources.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1617\" src=\"https:\/\/physaliaphysalis.mesosystem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/UAc-e1562771551539-300x137.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/physaliaphysalis.mesosystem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/UAc-e1562771551539-300x137.webp 300w, https:\/\/physaliaphysalis.mesosystem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/UAc-e1562771551539-768x352.webp 768w, https:\/\/physaliaphysalis.mesosystem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/UAc-e1562771551539.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3723\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3723\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">Nofima<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3723\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3723\"><p>Nofima is a leading institute for applied research within the fields of fisheries, aqUA\u00e7ulture and food research. They supply internationally renowned research and solutions that provide competitive advantages along the complete chain of value. The institute was established on 1 January 2008 and has 394 employees. \u201cSustainable food for all\u201d is Nofima vision. Nofima is involved at any moment in several hundred projects, from long-term industrially targeted fundamental research to short innovation projects, where the results are immediately used. The project AQUABIOPRO-FIT can be highlighted, in which some residual by-products are converted into high-quality, functional ingredients using efficient and sustainable methods. Other relevant project is the BlueCC, financed by the BlueBio Cofund, aiming to take underutilised invasive marine species, by-catch and cleaner fish from the aqUA\u00e7ulture industry (lump fish) to develop eco-friendly marine ingredients and products using a market acceptance approach. The invasive species include invasive crustaceans (i.e., crab and shrimp), echinoderms (i.e., starfish) and ctenophores (i.e., jellyfish). They are exploiting chitin and collagen produced by the sources mentioned and commercialising products derived from these polymers. This could provide new sources of revenue for food manufacturers who generate a lot of surplus raw material while manufacturing the main product. Nofima has experimented with raw materials from reindeer, chicken, and various marine species, and has found ways to extract collagen. Each source and each product require its own method. For this purpose, researchers use hydrolysis where enzymes are added to the raw material, dissolving it, and a series of different processes separate dry matter from wet. The protein is also suitable for making various gelatine products. Fifteen years ago, Nofima scientists succeeded in manufacturing gelatine from cod skin. The successful extraction of collagen from various animal species is a result of many years of research experience and excellent partnerships with industrial partners and European research communities.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1618\"
