Enzymatic modification and upgrading of marine
polysaccharides
Open seminar 2014
Thursday November 13, Scandic Hotel Lerkendal, Trondheim
MARPOL is financed by the BIOTEK2021 programme of the Research
Council of Norway
The primary goal of MARPOL is to develop innovative biomaterials by enzyme
technology for modification and upgrading of polysaccharides from marine resources.
MARPOL represents a new approach in developing novel biomaterials by utilizing
enzyme technology, leading to value increase for products and materials that can be
obtained from the selected marine resources.
In addition, it is expected that the technology developed can be applied in other fields
covering bio refineries of national importance.
