A4F
produced and distributed biomass fractions to ForFarmers, IFF and
UpField
|
|
|

| Thanks to
the developments of downstream processing implemented by A4F, several
fractions from different microalgae biomass have been produced. A4F
has reached microalgae protein rich fractions (>85%) and
carotenoid-rich powder to distrubute by the end-users of the
MULTI-STR3AM project: ForFarmers, iFF and UpField.
The fractions are the raw materials for the development of new
products with improved properties within the food and feed sectors, a
pursuit of the MULTI-STR3AM project. The end-users, together with
iBET, will focus now on the formulation of such products, based on
high-value ingredients from microalgae.
Don't miss the next steps of this exciting journey!
Do you want to know more about these and other fractions? Please,

Yellow Chlorella with
a high lutein content was bred by scientists at Algatech Center,
partner of the MULTI-STR3AM, for popular food supplements.
|
|
|

| Chlorella non-green
strains have been of interest for long regarding food applications.
The absence of green colour could help integrate the nutritional
value of Chlorella
strains in food products, adding antioxidant substances,
vitamins, fibers and lutein (a pigment that helps reducing the
symptoms of age-related retinal degeneration of the eye) to our
diet.
Thanks to the work develop by scientists at Algatech Centre, partner
of the MULTI-STR3AM project, a new algae, yellow Chlorella,
with a high lutein content (0.5%), was bred, having high potential
for application in food supplements.
You may discover more about this recent findings in the new article
of Vědavýzkum.cz at Science in practice: Chlorella and its
non-green strains - Vědavýzkum.cz (vedavyzkum.cz) |

Dynamic
Cross Flow filtration process at Phycom
|
|
|

| Phycom,
partner of the MULTI-STR3AM, is implementing a novel filtration
process designated Dynamic Cross Flow (DCF) that links
extensively to the quality, volume, economies of scale and
sustainability principles required. This biomass filtration
system uses a tangential flow over the filter surface – the
cross-flow effect – and is generated by rotating the filter discs,
not by pumping large volumes of liquid. Fixed baffles are installed
in the filter pressure tank to create turbulences. This process of
rotary filtration enables maximum filtration performance with meagre
energy consumption. The DCF filtration safeguards algae products that
fit industry needs. To learn more about this process visit Phycom's

MULTI-STR3AM:
A sustainable multi-strain, multi-method, multi-product microalgae
biorefinery integrating industrial side streams to create high
value products; was presented by Cristina Matos in AlgaEurope 2022
Conference. The poster presented the main developments of the
project regarding phototrophic cultivation and biorefinery
processes.
