A Review of Health Benefit Research and Development Relevant to the Australian Seafood Industry and Members of the Australian Seafood CRC Completed - Check out the Seafood CRC Bookshop! Project Number - 2007/711 Start Date - 7th September 2007 End Date - 2nd November 2007 Principal Investigator - Associate Professor Alexandra McManus Research Provider - Curtin University CRC Research End User - Australian Seafood CRC
About the Project This project consists of a critical review to investigate the capacity needs, health benefits research and development issues and opportunities for collaboration and co-funding. Project Objectives 1. Identify which organisations, institutions and spokespeople are currently providing information on seafood health benefits and the level of credibility that those organisations and institutions have (also undertake an initial assessment of their capacities and relevance to the seafood industry). 2. Assess the availability of trained people to develop the resources and to deliver health benefits information to the target audiences. 3. Detail the work that has been done to document the health benefits of seafood. 4. Identify the work that has been done on how communication of health benefits can, and does change consumer behaviour, particularly those in target groups (young, older people, pregnant women and specific condition sectors). 5. Identify the barriers to and drivers for the use of seafood benefits information. 6. Identify current communication material used to disseminate health benefits information to target groups whilst considering the strengths and weaknesses of these. 7. Identify the appropriate delivery frameworks for health benefits information and detail any specific requirements for these. 8. Document the FSANZ requirements for health benefit claims in plain English. 9. Detail the gaps in justifications needed for product health benefit claims. 10. Establish the CRC end user priorities for research and development needed for justifying product health benefit claims. ____________________________________________________ |

Review to Identify Capability in Functional Foods Research Completed - Check out the Seafood CRC Bookshop! Project Number - 2007/713 Start Date - 15th October 2007 End Date - 2nd November 2007 Principal Investigator - Professor Linda Tapsell Research Provider - University of Wollongong CRC Research End User - Australian Seafood CRC
About the Project This project consists of a review on the potential for a functional food strategy within the Seafood CRC's Health Benefits of Seafood program. Project Objectives 1. Determine which organisations, institutions and spokespeople are currently providing information on functional foods and the level of credibility that those organisations and institutions have. 2. Determine the work in the area of functional foods that has been done to date in relation to seafoods, including the potential for research into products within specified target groups (i.e. young people, older people, pregnant women and specific disease condition sectors). 3. Identify potential opportunities for collaboration nationally and internationally with industry, governments, national government organisations and research and development organisations for the development of functional foods based on seafoods. ____________________________________________________ |
