Chlorella Companies

Two novel Chlorella vulgaris powders from Allmicroalgae are authorised by EFSA as food additives and supplements in 2021. The sensory character of the White and Yellow Chlorella vulgaris varieties is their unique selling point. These new products promise the same distinctive nutritional benefits but are more subdued visually and have a subtler taste profile than traditional, brightly coloured products.

Cereal-based chlorella pieces have been introduced by Portuguese microalgae provider Allma, who is pushing the ingredient beyond of food supplement aisles.The company makes rice cereal and blends of Chlorella vulgaris with flavours including lemon, carrot, and rosemary in a variety of sizes.

To create a new, enhanced Chlorella strain, ProFuture collaborated with Greencolab at the University of Algarve in Portugal, Marbiotech/CCMAR Group, and Allmicroalgae. Even though microalgae-based food items are already considered high-quality meals, there is a pressing need to improve them because customers do not generally accept their organoleptic qualities, which include a "grassy" taste, a strong green colour, and a fishy scent. ProFuture tackled this in 2022 with a fresh innovation partnership. Chlorella vulgaris, "Spirulina," and Tetraselmis are three unique strains from microalgal species already recognised as novel foods that were chosen to enhance the quality of the biomass generated and increase customer acceptance in general.
