Introduction
The aims of the NutraMara programme include investigating the sustainability of Irish marine resources, isolation of useful bioactive components, characterization of marine derived bioactives and potential uses as food ingredients.
In order to apply the knowledge gained from this project to real life situations concerning functional food ingredients and health claims and their application to industry, several factors must be considered:
- Harvesting Legislation
- Regulation of Health Claims
- Government Policy
The policy section of the website aims to provide information on each of these areas relevant within Ireland and the European Union.
