Current Situation:
Completed
Summary
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.
