Summary
PulpIng aims stimulating a value chain that goes from the rational valorisation of pumpkin by developing a novel fruit pulp formulation added with a natural-based preservative extracted from pumpkin by-products. The overall process will be aligned with sustainability principles and innovative processes/technologies throughout all stages: pumpkin cultivation; extraction, purification, and stabilization of the bio-based preservative; processing and shelf-life preservation of pumpkin fruit pulp.
