Overview of the LIFECITRUS project At present the high development of the industry leads to the generation of waste, as well as to the improvement and implementation of new techniques or methods for their use. In the food production process, in addition to the desired product, by-products, residues and non-standard products are generated, each of which can be used for human or animal consumption and industrial application, which would bring economic benefits. Considering this framework, a new project has been funded under the LIFE programme. LIFE is the EU's financial instrument supporting environmental and nature conservation projects throughout the EU. The project "Recycling by-products of the citrus industry in natural additives for the food industry", with the acronym LIFECITRUS (LIFE14 ENV/ES/000326), is coordinated by the National Technology Center for Canning and Food (CTC) and has the collaboration of the AMC business group and the AGROFOOD Cluster, located in the Region of Murcia (Spain). Another partner is the Italian Federation of the Food Industry (FEDERALIMENTARE SERVIZI), located in Rome. This project is due to the concentration of the citrus production in the Mediterranean region, and to the generation of by-products of the industrialization of the same. It can be said that Spain represents almost 60% of the total production of the EU-28, followed by Italy with around 30%. In addition, Spanish production is concentrated in the regions of Murcia and Valencia. On the other hand, the European citrus sector is strongly oriented towards the fresh produce market. However, the production of citrus juice (especially orange juice) is heavily implanted because of modern consumption habits versus the consumption of whole fresh fruits. This agro- industry generates a significant amount of waste, with the following fluctuation in the Region of Murcia: - From 80,000 to 140,000 tonnes / year of lemon residues - From 80,000 to 170,000 tonnes / year of orange residues - From 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes / year of tangerine residues This residue is the fruit discarded by low quality, but especially it consists of the parts of the fruit without commercial value (peel) that are removed during the process of transformation. Their 1 LIFE14 ENV/ES/000326 management through direct use in animal feed classifies them as by-products, but this solution is not compatible with advanced scientific and technical criteria. The LIFECITRUS project proposes as a solution the implementation of an innovative process that the CTC has tested in recent years on a laboratory scale in a positive way. It is a process based on physical operations to obtain a new ingredient of application in the food industry. This product can be used as a natural ingredient, with exceptional properties, which can substitute for additives such as pectins, antioxidant acids, etc. in the production of jams and other foodstuffs (vegetable purees, sauces, ice creams, etc.). 1.2. Context Currently, economic development and environmental protection are together. Nowadays, any industrial activity is carried out with reducing its environmental impacts. This is due to that in recent decades, the pressure exercised by different sectors of society and by the different administrations, is translated into the development of a comprehensive legislation to protect the environment. All that has meant that companies from all industrial sectors have significantly improved the environmental quality of their production processes taking into account that their activity must be carried out in benefit of the environment where the activity is carried out and therefore of society as a whole, but also for the benefit of the company. The economic results of the companies are linked to its image with respect to the environment that consumers perceive. However, in Spain almost 75% of the companies are SMEs that do not have the technical or economic capacity, for an easy integration of the environmental variable in their business structure, but they have to be conscious of reality and adopt technological solutions. These solutions can even add value to your company, making the most of their by-products for produce new ingredients, that can enrich new foods. In addition, new companies can be created in areas with market potential and a distribution system that guarantees business and environmental success. As a consequence, the follow points must be taken into account: - In the Region of Murcia the agrofood sector is closely linked to the fruit and vegetable processing industry and produce a potential valuable by-product, and therefore can generate wealth for the area. 2 LIFE14 ENV/ES/000326 - The creation of companies is one of the main indicators of country's economic activity. With more companies, will be more employment, more public income and more possibilities of increasing the economic and social development of all citizens. - From the geographical point of view, Region of Murcia is a peripheral region with respect to the main centers of transport and economic activity of the EU. Also, Region of Murcia is part of the Mediterranean Arc, therefore have great potential for development and favorable enclave for the location of economic activity. Food and Beverage Manufacturing Industry The food sector is the first industrial sector in Spain. This sector is the key to the growth of employment, the production process and the exports business. It is an industry that employs more than half a million people directly, which contributes 3% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and represents Spain in the world. In 2016, the invoice of this sector was 102,313 million euros, with an increment of 2.9%, more than twice the growth experienced in 2016 which was 1.3%. This increment was due to exports, which reached 9% (data provided by the Federation of Food and Beverage Industries (FIAB), 2017 report). In addition, Catalonia, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Valencian Community, Castilla La Mancha, Galicia and the Region of Murcia are autonomous region provide the greatest value to net sales of food products industry, with more than 76% of the total food industry (INE ,2015).
