As the population of the world is increasing on a daily basis, a new need for alternative sources regarding bio-active ingredients has been appearing stronger. The world’s industries, as well as academia, are looking into the need by conducting researches and analyzing data every single day until they are able to find the alternative source or sources that will replace functional products, the way they are today!

New researches for functional ingredients

The European Union has, of course, spotted the need for this new discovery and is making sure that the efforts that need to be done, will be done. Research grants are being given to the world’s best scientists in order to discover those new resources as soon as possible. However, the field of bio-active products, although a respective field, is not so ‘’popular’’ among the industries. At least not as much as it should be.

The need for mass information delivery regarding the field is unavoidable. And through the European Union’s efforts, that information will surely be delivered fast. The most important piece of information, however, regarding bio-active ingredients and the research surrounding them is the cost itself.

Cost-efficient solutions

The cost is not limited to the research. The production of these ingredients can be rather expensive. Always depending on the field of course. Making those high-performance functional ingredients as cost-efficient as possible is going to result in the mass production and new alternative products out on the market, covering a need that grows on a daily basis.

Organizations all around Europe will assist with this endeavor by implementing some of the world’s most important projects and researches. Based on studies that have already been conducted, the creation of new, alternative resources will improve after a cost-efficient policy gets adopted and become a part of the scientific way of thinking, towards the currently available ingredients.

New and innovating ideas will assist the process to run faster and smoother. It is a priority for Europe to manage and improve the use of the current pool of resources by adding new efficient and sustainable production of high-performance functional ingredients that meet market demand and safety standards for target sectors such as food, feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc.
