Our food ingredients
Our Chlorella ingredients are developed for food manufacturers wanting to enhance the nutritional value of their products with unique micronutrients from algae. Its content of complete proteins and natural nutrients makes it a plant-based superfood that supports a range of clean label and vegan claims and can be applied in a vast variety of formulations. To overcome the inherent challenges algae has traditionally faced as a food ingredient, and to improve its organoleptic properties making it more applicable in various food matrices, we have rethought biology and developed more neutral tasting Chlorella in different colours. Thus, our portfolio is ideal for manufactures seeking to innovate with Chlorella-based ingredients to boost their food and beverage formulations with the best that nature can offer.
Our product portfolio offers white, green and yellow ingredients which only consist of fermented and dried Chlorella that naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fibers, protein and amino-acids. The centrepiece is our proprietary chlorophyll-free, white Chlorella ingredient, with neutral flavour and colour, enabling application in formulations that previously were out of scope for traditional algae. This whole-food ingredient packs a nutritional punch, making it a sustainable complement to soy-, pea- and wheat in a broad variety of formulations where neutral colour is desired. Typical applications include meat-, fish- and seafood analogs as well as in hybrids and conventional bakery, savoury- and dairy products seeking plant-based enrichment.
The smooth roundness and less pronounced taste of our green Chlorella empowers the use of a chlorophyll- and protein-rich ingredient in formulations where a green colour is desirable, such as drinks, smoothies and energy-bars. Our yellow Chlorella is an ingredient in which chlorophyll content has been reduced to a minimum, enabling the strong colour of carotenoids to shine through when used in different plant-based formulations.
Our natural and highly nutritious, non-GMO Chlorella ingredients are an excellent addition for any food manufacturer looking to diversify their recipes beyond soy-, pea and wheat and wanting to enhance their nutritional profile with the unique value of algae. Leveraging different coloured algae in food formulations can increase the overall quality of both your products and brand without compromising on eating quality and appearance.
White Chlorella
​
After two years of selective propagation, random mutagenesis and product development, we are able to offer our customers a chlorophyll-free, white Chlorella. Its neutral flavour and colour make it highly applicable as a vegan, plant-based, allergen-free and protein-rich ingredient in a wide range of formulations, from seafood & meat alternatives, bakery, dairy and savoury to nutritional beverages, confectionery and protein-bars.
A vegan, plant-based & protein-rich ingredient
This innovative ingredient is a vegan, non-GMO Clean label product that only consists of dried Chlorella algae which naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fibres, proteins, amino- and fatty acids. Its improved organoleptic properties enable its use in formulations that were previously not feasible due to Chlorella’s naturally high chlorophyll content and strong flavour. Additionally, the structures within Chlorella's amino acids deliver functional performance enabling its use as a vegan binder, emulsifier and foaming agent.
Ingredient with an impact
Green Chlorella
Naturally content of chlorophyll
Our green Chlorella ingredient is a true superfood, packed with nearly 10 times the healthy chlorophyll of similar green plants and crops. Despite its high chlorophyll content, it has a smooth flavour that makes it differ from most other Chlorella ingredients available on the markets today.
Its natural content of complete proteins, chlorophyll, carotenoids, fibres, minerals and vitamins such as folic-acid, niacin and biotin makes it an excellent vegan, plant-based ingredient to be used in the development of next-generation food and beverage products for health-conscious consumers.

Aquapaste
- fresh Chlorella concentrate
For the hatchery market, we have developed Aquapaste - a fresh, high-yielding, single-species, concentrated Chlorella paste consisting of nutritious 3-6 µm sized Chlorella cells optimised for feeding rotifers and providing an ideal tank environment in Green Water applications. Its nutritional profile delivers critical protein- and vitamin nourishment which, in combination with the paste’s high cell integrity, absolute single cell dispersion and great water column buoyancy, has the characteristics of fresh live microalgae.
The paste’s composition of almost purely intact cells disperses easily and remains for longer in the water column. The low number of broken cells also greatlty reduces organic waste in the culture tanks and the formation of biofilms on the water’s surface.
We cultivate our Chlorella under stringently controlled conditions that guarantee stable nutritional quality and high bio-security with no pathogens. For easy handling and product quality assurance the concentrated paste is always pre-packed in poly-nylon vacuum bags. Using insulated cool-box transportation systems, we are able to reliably supply fresh Aquapaste to hatcheries all over Europe.
