Innovative Approaches Fueling Algae Protein Market Growth
Leading companies in the algae protein sector are focusing on groundbreaking solutions such as high-protein microalgae concentrates produced through hybrid light-assisted fermentation. This process enhances sustainability, nutritional value, and flexibility in formulating plant-based foods and dairy or meat substitutes. Hybrid light-assisted fermentation combines sugar-based fermentation with controlled light exposure in indoor bioreactors, enabling microalgae growth and protein extraction through natural photosynthesis and fermentation.
For example, in June 2024, Israel-based food-tech firm Brevel, Ltd. launched a commercial-scale facility producing a microalgae protein concentrate tailored for plant-based dairy and meat alternatives. This concentrate features a white, neutral-flavored powder with 60-70% protein content, a complete amino acid profile, and a non-GMO status. The product improves the sustainability and nutritional density of plant-based products while facilitating industrial-scale supply and easy formulation without affecting flavor or color.
