 +The ABP Regulation specifies seven "Processing Methods" (described in Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 , the implementing regulation) that determine how ABP-derived materials must be treated before they may be used in various applications:
  
   * Processing Method 1 (pressure sterilisation): 133°C, 3 bar absolute, 20 minutes minimum — the standard for high-risk materials.   * Processing Method 1 (pressure sterilisation): 133°C, 3 bar absolute, 20 minutes minimum — the standard for high-risk materials.
Line 58: Line 60:
 For algal biomass derived from ABP-origin substrates, the processing method required will depend on the category of ABP involved and the intended use of the algal biomass. In practice, many uses that would be commercially attractive (e.g. food use of algae grown on fish wastewater) are difficult to achieve under current ABP rules because the processing requirements effectively destroy the commercially valuable properties of the algal biomass. For algal biomass derived from ABP-origin substrates, the processing method required will depend on the category of ABP involved and the intended use of the algal biomass.
