Why not explore and evaluate alternative protein sources? In Wageningen (Netherlands), we met companies and researchers who study insects, their breeding and the production on an industrial scale. The fields of application ranging from feed to food and pharmaceuticals.
The sector is growing rapidly, in particular in the north of Europe (Italy is coming) and the improvement of production technologies suggests, in the near future, the use of insects as a source of nutrients and functional ingredients. In the Netherlands, the collaboration between universities and companies is a winning combination for developing this new business. Despite many doubts and question marks on legislation and […] Read more
Nowadays, the most used method to recover oil from oleaginous seeds, consists of an extraction using different types of chemical solvents. However, to ensure human and animal welfare and the use of natural substances, it’s essential to perform more and more “green” processes. In order to satisfy these particular requests, scientists and engineers focused their attention on “free from solvent” approach as cold pressure, ultrasound/microwave and CO2 supercritical extraction methods. Therefore, it’s very important to identify alternative extractions depending on the raw material and on the final intended use of the product. The goal of a “green” extraction meets different wide markets and […] Read more
Protein demand for animal nutrition is increasing with the increasing world population; Europe’s main source of feed protein is soybean meal, but many alternatives are being evaluated for the future. Among these, insects are a promising one especially for their low environmental impact.

Last November 30th ATPr&d joined the event: “Doctor of Philosophy is innovation: the value of PhDs working in industries”. In that occasion it was pointed out that PhDs are the fast track to bring scientific knowledge into industries to turn them into product, process and management innovation.
Industrial careers for PhDs demonstrate that this approach is achievable by all businesses, regardless of the company size.
The seminar showed why doing a doctorate is worth (for young people) and why hiring a PhD is a virtuous strategic choice (for businesses).
