The aroma and taste of eight different phototrophic microalgae species were investigated compared with five seaweeds to evaluate their potential as flavor ingredients in plant-based seafood alternatives. To assess performance, commercial flavoring products used a reference during the sensory evaluation chemical odor-active taste-active profiles those algae. Stronger odor observed Rhodomonas salina, Tetraselmis chui Phaeodactylum tricornutum which could be explained by presence important...
Drying is a necessary step in the microalgae production chain to reduce microbial load and oxidative degradation of end product. Depending on differences applied temperature treatment time, process drying can have substantial impact protein quality aroma, important characteristics determining incorporation potential food products. In this study, we compared heterotrophic Chorella vulgaris with both innovative (agitated thin film (ATFD), pulse combustion (PCD) solar (SolD)) commonly used...
Abstract Rhodomonas salina is a microalgal species, belonging to the cryptophytes, and widely used as aquaculture feed because of its high nutritional profile phycoerythrin content. This study investigated effect pH on growth, biochemical composition, taste R. when cultivated semi-large scale under natural light conditions. Two tubular photobioreactors (200 L) were for cultivation with sunlight only illumination source. different setpoints applied, 7 8.5. Optimal temperature nutrient...
