Abstract
The increase of world population and high consumption of natural resources has leading to the implementation of actions with positive impact on environmental, social and economic level, following the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations (UN). One crustacean highly appreciated by the Society, due to its quality attributes such as suis generis flavour, size and texture, is the stalked barnacle (Pollicipes Pollicipes) that growths in rocks of Berlengas Nature Reserve, in Portugal. Based on the growing demand both by professional fishers and consumers, the harvesting regulation of this from the Berlengas Nature Reserve, arises at 2002 the Ordinance n.º 378 and at 2011 is amends by Ordinance n.º 232. In this sense, the number of professional fishers, the quantity and size of stalked barnacle is limited leading to product surplus and consequent transformation in residue with negative impact on environmental, social and economic level. The project “PAS – paté de percebe e amora silvestre” – (barnacle pâté with blackberry) intend to show a potential solution of this “residue” by development of new food product: barnacle pâté enriched with blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), one natural source of antioxidants compounds. The barnacle pâté enriched with blackberry is a potential new food product with an interesting quality attribute like colour, texture and bioactive properties.
