The biomega® impact comes from upcycling high-quality salmon rest raw materials into premium food and pet food ingredients through accelerated biorefining by way of continuous enzymatic hydrolysis. In late December 2022, biomega® opened a state-of-the-art biorefinery in Hirtshals, Denmark. Here, the company launched its innovative SalMe Peptides, a new taste- and scent-neutral human nutrition ingredient, which is developed using patented biorefinery processes.
