Characterization of Mussel Shells Post-cleaning Using Industrial Protease Enzymes
EF 2014-15
Résumé
This Engage Project (6 months) presents an opportunity for DuPont Canada to work with Memorial Universityresearchers, who have expertise in ocean-sourced biomass utilization and materials chemistry. MemorialUniversity has a vast array of instrumentation for the characterization of both natural and man-made materials.DuPont hopes that the unique scientific knowledge to be obtained from this initial research collaboration, willcreate new opportunities for utilization of its enzymatic technologies, leading to future potentialuniversity/industry research collaboration opportunities. Full analysis of the characteristics and properties ofclean mussel shells, and scientific data interpretation using Dupont technology as a starting point will alsobenefit the Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry seeking a receptor company for its waste products.
