After the successful PRESERF project, FeyeCon has been granted the HORIZON2020*
FutureFood project. During PRESERF, CO
2 drying was investigated together with other food preservation methods. Product quality was evaluated, further energy savings were realized, and a pilot unit was installed and tested.
Building upon these results, FutureFood aims at the demonstration and first market application of CO
2-drying, an eco-innovative solution for drying of food products (e.g. vegetables, herbs, fruits and proteins). The main benefits of the technology is preserving the fresh quality attributes and vital nutrients of the products, while reducing carbon footprint and energy consumption compared to conventional drying techniques.
