The idea of the project is to create a new high-quality, high value-added, extra bioactive product with a low molecular weight. The project's focus is to develop functional products based on domestic enzyme formulas derived from wild whitefish (pollock). Due to the unique properties of fish collagen, pollock-based formulations stand to meet a broad spectrum of needs in the food industry, medicine, and cosmetology.
Pollock products are high on protein, hypoallergenic, and easy to digest. They are good for you. The project will help expand the offering of domestic pollock-based products and cut import dependency for similar products.
“We are pleased to join as an industrial partner on the project and to contribute by supplying premium raw materials and making the manufacturing facilities of our onshore Russian Pollock factory available. In collaboration with Biotech LLC we will be able to bring high value added products to the market and enlarge the offering of similar domestic products, which is no small matter in today's economic climate",
The parties plan to build a new production line and will have the new product, hydrolyzed fish collagen (peptides), developed soon. This collaboration is a major step forward for Russia's biotech industry, which is about the more efficient use of bio-resources and development of competitive products with a high innovation factor.
“The deal opens up prospects for us to combine our science and tech expertise with the powerful manufacturing potential of the Russian Pollock factory. We see enormous potential in using valuable fish-based marine material in high-tech products catering to a vast domestic and international demand. A person aged 25 or older needs 1 kg of hydrolyzed collagen annually to stay healthy. Together with our partners, we want to make the stuff more easily available in Russia. Our job is to advance domestic biotech, generating innovative solutions to phase out imports and strengthen public health. A very timely mission, for it coincides with the launch of the National Priority Project ‘Tech Support for Bioeconomy’”,
