Portuguese non-profit private organization GreenCoLab will be debuting three prototypes at Vitafoods Europe, including a caviar alternative mace with microalgae. “As the paradigm shifts away from animal-based markets, there is a growing demand for vegan alternatives that align with consumers’ ethical and environmental values as well as their taste expectations," says Daniel Mendonça Silva, Business and Dissemination Manager at GreenCoLab.
At the upcoming annual event for the global nutraceutical supply chain, GreenCoLab will also debut microalgae artisanal beer and algae-based burgers. These innovations spotlight the use of non-GMO chlorella, tetraselmis and seaweed as plant-powered ingredients that have the potential to enhance the nutritional, functional and sensory qualities of products, and support a more sustainable planet too.
