INTRODUCING DECAMEAL
Sustainable protein
PRODUCTS
From harmful crabs, to sustainable products
OUR HIGH PROTEIN FEED SUPPLEMENT - DECAMEAL
Our high protein feed supplement consists entirely of the common shore crab, and boasts an impressive 45% raw protein as well as suitable levels of amino acids for a wide array of livestock.
CRAB SHELLS WITH ASTAXANTHIN AND CALCIUM
Our one and only by-product from producing Decameal is the left over shells. These can be used in the feed, sector, or reffined further to yield high amounts of Chitine, Chitosan, or Astaxanthine .
PROTEIN CONCENTRATE
Through our innovative process, we have concentrated the crab protein to 60-70% in our protein concentrate.
ABOUT DECAMEAL
Breaking grounds in sustainable protein production
We make use of the harmful and invasive common shore crabs to make our protein products - Usable across the feed sector
Decameal was started by Happylan Natkunarajah and Leander Hessner. Both founders are biologists, with a specialization in management and ecology of aquatic ecosystems, and with a huge passion for our oceans.. Happylan is head of production development and handles most of the new production methods and testing. Leander is head of administration, communications and out-reach, and handles all contact with investors, partners, and customers.
In late 2023, we met Mikkel Kongsfelt, and was lucky enough to attract him as our third co-founder. Mikkel is in charge of fundraising, invenstments, IP, and legal, and brings enormous compentencies and experience to the founder team.
Decameal was started through a course in “Bio-entrepreneurship” at Aarhus University in 2020, where the intial idea was hatched. Ever since the two original founders graduated in 2021, the teams has been working around to clock to make Decameal a reality. The hard work has resulted in soft funding from both "Fonden for entreprenørskab", "The Kamstrup Pitch Competition" and many more. In november 2022, Decameal recieved an "Innofounder" from Innovationsfonden, that enabled both original founders to work full-time.
In 2024 and 2025, Decameal will be funded by the AgriFoodTure grant, that has awarded 4,2 Mil dkk, to build a pilot production and validate the entire value chain - From fisherman to finished feed!
