Summary
Chronic disease remains the principal cause of health inequality for Indigenous Australians. Primary care is critical to mounting a health system response. The Aboriginal community controlled sector is at the coal face of chronic disease management, yet requires the synthesis, utilisation, development, evaluation and translation of evidence to practice. CREATE was established for this purpose
Extraction of flavour enhancers, antimicrobials and nutraceuticals from olive mill effluent. The project aims to recover valuable materials from olive mill waste. Natural flavours will be recovered from the wastewater and from the dry pomice after oil extraction. The research and development will see these flavour compounds added back to olive oil to enhance the flavours of bland oils and to increase the shelf life of olive oil. The same compounds also have uses as enhancing the flavours of food ....Extraction of flavour enhancers, antimicrobials and nutraceuticals from olive mill effluent. The project aims to recover valuable materials from olive mill waste. Natural flavours will be recovered from the wastewater and from the dry pomice after oil extraction. The research and development will see these flavour compounds added back to olive oil to enhance the flavours of bland oils and to increase the shelf life of olive oil. The same compounds also have uses as enhancing the flavours of foods in general and provide a source of naturally occurring antioxidants. The compounds will be tested as natural antibiotics as a means of controlling fungal infections in vineyards and in vegetable production. Read moreRead less
