Development of novel and sustainable functional foods using microalgae-derived bioactive ingredients (ALGFOOD)

The starting hypothesis of the ALGFOOD project is that it is possible to produce safe, high-quality functional foods that are well accepted by consumers using microalgae produced in a sustainable, efficient manner and at a competitive price using photobioreactors that operate with artificial light and using combustion gases that normally end up in the atmosphere.

Objectives:

• Evaluate the production of S. platensis with combustion gases for human-related uses..
• Evaluation of the final consumer acceptance of such products.
