Tiivistelmä: | Biotechnology is turning a traditionally low-tech industry (food) into a high-tech industry (functional food/nutraceuticals). This paper focuses on a particular segment of the functional food industry, that is, marine-based nutraceuticals. It is found that various hurdles restrain the fullest realization of the business potential of marine bio-actives in the pharmaceutical space. However, the innovation of commercially viable marine-based nutraceuticals or cosmeceuticals is yet possible if the extraction route for supply is a feasible fallback option etc. Effectiveness in innovation is facilitated by the collaboration of various disciplines incl. medicine, epidemiology, ... , chemistry, toxicology, and relevant strands of medical, pharmacological, and clinical research. Universities and government research institutes may be well positioned to drive the collaboration, reaping the benefits from problem definition in addition to problem solving. |
