SDG – World Environment Day

The overall objective of the project is to obtain proteins from low-commercial-value pig organs which, due to their functional properties and high nutritional value, are useful as ingredients in the food industry.

The project objectives are:

• Optimise the technique that makes it possible to separate the protein fractions while also removing the off-flavour characteristic of offal.

• Characterise the protein fractions: stability, chemical composition and technological functionality

• Determine the optimal conditions for forming an extract rich in Zn-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) for use as a food pigment.

• Apply enzymatic technologies, high hydrostatic pressure and extrusion to improve protein functionality and develop protein texturisers with applications as ingredients with nutritional value and technological function for meat products

• Develop meat products including the above ingredients

• Determine consumer attitudes

Project funded through Operation 16:01:01 (cooperation for innovation) of the Catalonia RDP 2014-2020.

Friselva and Girona FC have reached an agreement to renew and extend the sponsorship launched last season. The major new development this year is the inclusion of the Friselva brand on the back of the shirt of all Girona FC women’s teams.

Once again, Friselva has collaborated with the Quina of Riudellots de la Selva, and this year’s edition has been a great success.

The proceeds raised at the Quina are allocated both to La Marató de TV3 and to the Som Sostre association, which helps people experiencing homelessness, as well as to subsidise various activities to be held in the town for children with financial difficulties.
