AllGaea’s algae have quantifiably higher, more consistent nutritional composition, especially regarding levels of protein, omega fatty acids, and carotenoids, than algae grown in other aquatic environments and alternative sources. The harvested biomass is exceptionally dense nutrition for fish, livestock, and humans, and a spectacular source of high-quality novel molecules for nutraceuticals, skincare, and cosmetics’ innovation and production. These nutritional elements have numerous potential health benefits for both animals and humans.
The revolutionary sustainable, scientific processes we developed empower AllGaea to have a positive impact on the global environment and on fish and livestock, while improving the protein and nutritional composition of fish, meat, eggs, and dairy. For instance, algae are one of the most significant nutritional sources of food for fish in natural aquatic environments, and give fish their specific flavor. So, choosing to feed farmed fish algae means they’re eating what they would naturally consume in oceans and lakes, instead of starch and vegetables from conventional land farms, which sadly create more waste and greenhouse gasses than algae cultivation. There are measurable health benefits for the people who eat algae-fed fish because it is more nutritionally dense. Plus, these farmed fish end up tasting more like their wild cousins.
The rise of environmental consciousness regarding pollution and personal health is driving increasing demand for green consumerism:
Environmental decline is a constant, discouraging headline. However, it is not too late. With green innovation, like finding new applications for algae, we can not only reverse the environmental damage done, we can also inspire others to change and innovate too. Now is the best moment that we’ve ever had and ever will have to create a better world in which to live and raise our children. So many products can be enhanced using algae or algae-derived products. All of these developments have been key in creating new opportunities to enter the market strategically. As a result, many products that you use daily, contain algae or algae bi-products and extracts, and you probably had no idea that they contain Algae.
Nutraceuticals
Different types of algae, specifically microalgae, could become more prevalent in food supplements and nutraceuticals. These algae species include Spirulina, Chlorella, Haematococcus, Nostoc, Botryococcus, Anabaena, Chlamydomonas, Scenedesmus, Synechococcus, Parietochloris, Crypthecodinium, Porphyridium. Given specific environmental factors and stressors, algae can be engineered to have high levels of carotenoids, omega fatty acids, and protein useful as supplements and food, and extremely helpful in improving and maintaining human and animal health.
Functional Foods
Due to their properties, algae is increasingly being used in fermented foods. Fermented products containing algae are very often dairy products: cheese, cream, milk, desserts, puddings, yogurt, cottage cheese, and ice cream. Algae work well as stabilizers in countless processed and shelf-stable foods.
