Our groundbreaking Chlorella

Sustainable, plant-based, neutral flavour, functional protein-rich ingredients

Ingredients of the future - today

Satisfying the growing demand for novel, neutral-flavoured plant-based protein-rich ingredients, our whole algal-cell Chlorella provides a rich source of neutral-tasting, functional plant-based protein; meeting head-on the challenge of creating delicious, nutritious and simplified vegan and flexitarian products. Food and beverages are just the beginning, we’re developing solutions to deliver into additional markets.

Transitioning to a sustainable food system

Globally consumed for decades

Chlorella microalgae has been consumed for decades because of its nutritional properties. Now, Algenuity’s patent protected Chlorella colour variants are available in a range of natural colours including our industry leading white, yellow and red. Our Chlorella is exempt from EU Novel Food Regulation owing to a history of safe use.

Meeting market needs

Algenuity's Chlorella is broadly enabling in the plant-based proteins food and beverage sector as a plant-based source of alternative protein with neutral taste and flavour for clean label, allergen free formulation. These versatile ingredients also satisfy the requirements for natural, gluten-free, non-GM and Vegan diets.

As an egg and dairy replacement, our white Chlorella can support the transition away from our current heavy reliance on animal sources of nutrition while transforming ingredient decks and all at an attractive price.

Flavour, colour and freshness

Great neutral flavours, colour and freshness demanded by formulators are created by the gentle drying process, which also retains the functionality demanded when replacing dairy and animal proteins. Algenuity's Chlorella whole-cell ingredients naturally contain antioxidants, beta-glucan, B and E vitamins including vitamin B12, magnesium, manganese, zinc and healthy plant-based omega-6 oils.

Sustainable, scalable, supply chain resilience

Our mission is to deliver the world's most sustainable and scalable plant-based protein-rich ingredients. We manufacture our Chlorella by microbial fermentation year-round using a glucose carbon source that can be derived from any locally available plant-based starch including wheat, maize, pea, potato, etc. As such, our process and geographic flexibility support in country manufacturing and supply chain resilience, all key parts of a robust food system.
