WHITE CHLORELLA ALGAE - Wins Most Innovative Ingredient at Plant-Based World Expo in New York
31 May 2022
At this years Plant-Based World Expo in New York Aliga's White Chlorella algae ingredient was awarded the most Innovative Ingredient at the show.
Aliga Microalgae, a pioneering Danish company specializing in Chlorella algae production for the food-, beverage-, dietary supplements and feed industry, proudly announces its victory at the prestigious Plant Based World Expo 2023 held at the Javits Center in New York. In a highly competitive final featuring eight exceptional candidates, Aliga Microalgae emerged as the winner of "The World Plant Based Innovation Award 2023" in the coveted category of "Ingredient Innovation."
Aliga Microalgae's innovative approach to chlorella production has ushered in a new era for the dietary supplement and plant-based food industries. Their proprietary white chlorella, which boasts a neutral color and taste, has captured the attention of industry experts and consumers alike. This groundbreaking achievement was made possible by the strategic removal of chlorophyll – the green pigment responsible for the characteristic color and taste of chlorella – from the algae's DNA string through random mutagenesis. Unlike traditional green chlorella, Aliga Microalgae's white chlorella opens doors to a wider array of food and beverage applications where the green color and typical algae taste are undesirable. This innovation aligns perfectly with the growing demand for versatile plant-based ingredients that can cater to diverse consumer preferences.
Aliga Microalgae is already in the commercial phase of introducing their white chlorella as a dietary supplement in Europe. Furthermore, they have embarked on over 100 trials with vegan food producers worldwide, exploring the potential of white chlorella as an alternative ingredient to commonly used protein sources such as soy and pea protein.
This innovative ingredient is a vegan non-GMO superfood that only consists of fermented and dried Chlorella algae which naturally contains vitamins, minerals, fibers, proteins, amino- and fatty acids. Its improved organoleptic properties enables application in formulations that previously has not been possible due to the Chlorella’s natural high content of chlorophyll and strong algea flavour.
