Development of innovative nutraceuticals from peels and nests of seed apples and Polish kiwi fruits supporting prevention and comprehensive treatment of metabolic diseases
SA 42799(2015/X) The project concerns the purchase of a service consisting of the development by the scientific unit of an innovative dietary supplement in the form of capsules and a liquid concentrate supporting the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. The dietary supplement planned for development will be based on high concentration of polyphenols, pectins and fiber extract from ecological skins and seed nests of apples. The composition will be complemented by rich in polyphenols, vitamins and minerals extract from the peels of mini kiwi fruits and a functional addition of bioactive peptides. The product to be developed is characterised by significantly better characteristics than the products currently available on the market. As a result of the planned research work, an innovative composition of the supplement with an unprecedented spectrum of activity will be developed. The formula used will significantly increase the concentration of bioactive substances and achieve comprehensive, synergistic health-promoting effects. The product will be completely free of chemicals and sugar. As a result of the implementation of the project, a product innovation will be created on the scale of the Polish and international market. Scope of the project: 1. Development of a method of extraction of polyphenols from the peel and seed nests of apples and mini kiwi 2. Development of the formulation of a dietary supplement based on extracts from the peel and seed nests of apples and mini kiwi skins 3. Developing a way of fermenting a dietary supplement to increase health-promoting properties 4. Conducting tests on patients 5. Industrial trials and validation of developed production technology, final product verification The result of the project will be product innovation: developed and tested dietary supplement. As a result of the project, production technology, composition and tests confirming the parameters and effectiveness of the supplement, including tests with end users, will be developed. The final result of the project will be ready for commercialisation of the product.
