 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, contact us throught the email info@multi-str3am.com

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.

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.
