Today, 30 September, the third edition of El Sopar dels Miralls is being held, an innovative and unique social event organised with the aim of raising funds for research for the Girona Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBGI). An edition was scheduled for March 2020, but, just a few days before, the outbreak of the pandemic prevented it from taking place. Now, after many months and several attempts, normality will resume by bringing back this social and charitable initiative. FRISELVA, with its commitment to society, collaborates with this initiative to contribute to the common good and shared growth.

Valorisation of low-commercial-value proteins from pig slaughterhouse by- and co-products
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.
