MIRACLES is a 4-year industry driven R&D and innovation project aimed at developing integrated, multiple-product biorefinery technologies for production of specialties from microalgae for application in food, aquaculture and non-food products. [EN]: The focus is on development and integration of mild cell disruption and environmentally friendly extraction and fractionation processes including functionality testing and product formulation based on established industrial algal strains. The project will also develop new technologies for optimizing and monitoring of valuable products in the algal biomass during cultivation. An innovative photobioreactor and an improved harvesting technology combined with medium recycle echnologies will enable substantial cost reduction of algal biomass production.

Trabajo presentado a las I Jornadas Científicas del CIAL celebradas el 5 de junio de 2014 en Madrid.-- MIRACLES es un proyecto de innovación con un enfoque multidisciplinar orientado a la generación de casos de negocio sólidos a través del desarrollo de tecnología de la industria impulsada por la I+D. El consorcio cuenta con 26 socios de 11 destacadas organizaciones de investigación. Entre ellos el CIAL está representado a través del grupo FOODOMICS. El liderazgo industrial fuerte está garantizado a través de la participación de 12 PYMES y 3 usuarios finales. http://miraclesproject.eu/ (KBBE.2013.3.2-02: The CO2 algae biorefinery)
