n Valgorize, the partners are looking at whether algae can be a food source in the future. To this end, the researchers looked at the controlled, sustainable production and processing of high-quality, stable, safe algal biomass. Food producers need a reliable and predictable supply of high-quality biomass. Consumers want tasty, safe, high-quality products.
Valgorize sought to close this gap.The Aquaculture in Delta Areas research group at HZ University of Applied Sciences looked at optimizing the production of Rhodomonas salina in terms of biomass, pigments, fatty acids and flavor profile.
The HZ researchers worked with partners in other European countries around the North Sea.
