Waterless Lamb Frenching Production Prototype (Stage 3)
Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC)
Lamb Frenching is traditionally a labour intensive and time-consuming task. In recent times there has been the development of automated processes but have not resulted with wide adoption within Australia due to the high water useage. The purpose of this project is to develop a commercially viable waterless frenching solution....

Efficiency opportunities in rapid cooling of trim - A cost and environmental comparison of CO2, N2 efficiencies, and a new tube chiller system
Australian Meat Processor Corporation (AMPC)
This project will evaluate the relevant current plant operations for gas contact rapid cooling of trim, and scope the potential for efficiency (i.e. capture & reuse of sublimated gas from dry ice) & productivity gains (i.e. on site production of N2 via direct air capture). It will also consider alternatives...

Cyber-physical seafood systems: Intelligent and optimized green manufacturing for marine co-products
Bioeconomy Science Institute
We typically think of seafood as delicious shellfish and fillets, but the enormous range of harvested animals from Aotearoa’s aquaculture and fisheries also represents a complex mixture of molecules with uses far beyond food. Many of these molecules have special properties making them valuable commercially, including as products for human/animal...
