The Danish food-tech company Aliga Microalgae is introducing its proprietary white Chlorella algae ingredient to the European markets – a sustainable complement to soy and pea which can be applied in a broad variety of analogue and hybrid food formulations.
As an addition to its green Chlorella the company’s white Chlorella, is a chlorophyll-free, white ingredient with neutral taste and flavour. The ingredient is vegan, plant-based, allergen-free and protein-rich making it highly applicable in a broad variety of formulations, from meat and seafood analogues and hybrids to savoury-, bakery- and vegan dairy products.
The ingredient is a vegan non-GMO superfood that only consists of fermented and dried Chlorella algae which naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fibres, proteins, amino- and fatty acids. Its improved organoleptic properties enables application in formulations that previously has not been possible due the Chlorella’s natural high content of chlorophyll and strong algae flavour.
Aliga Microalgae is a Danish based food-tech company specialising in developing, producing and commercialising functional and protein-rich ingredients from Chlorella algae, currently it is the only industrial producer of Chlorella microalgae in Scandinavia.
