Microalgae biomass for food and dietary supplements
We discuss whether biomass or an ingredient from microalgae can solve your product's task: serve as a source of a required component, color or protein. We start with composition and documentation requirements, not with a catalog of cultures.
Tasks we discuss
- Biomass as a formulation component: composition, form, taste and color in the finished product
- A source of phycocyanin for coloring. If processing of biomass into a colorant is needed, we clarify who performs it
- Protein and lipid profile as additional biomass characteristics
- Comparison with the raw material or ingredient you use now
What needs to be defined before a trial batch
These questions are part of the survey and the technical specification. If you don't have an answer yet, leave the item open and we will clarify it together.
- 01
Form: powder, flakes or other; moisture and drying method
- 02
Target component, minimum content, units and basis
- 03
The analytical method you use to accept raw material
- 04
Color, taste, odor and solubility in your formulation
- 05
Stability under heat, at different pH and in storage
- 06
Documents required for your product
- 07
Trial batch volume and indicative regular demand
Important to know
- Admissibility for food use is checked separately for the specific material and product
- We make no health claims
- Whole biomass does not replace a ready-made colorant or extract: color and taste are tested in your formulation
