Overview

Fucoxanthin (few-co-zan-then) is a brown pigment that occurs in the chloroplasts of brown algae. AlgaHealth is developing new microalgal sources for fucoxanthin and novel cultivation and processing protocols for microalgae that will produce large quantities of natural, high-quality fucoxanthin much more efficiently than in traditional ways. Next, the company will develop and produce polysaccharides as a by-product, providing a second source of novel, high-value microalgal products. AlgaHealth’s protocol overcomes current difficulties in producing microalgae by employing innovative microalgal physiological processes in order to maximize the quality and cost-efficiency of the production processes. Team of leaders in the microalgae industry Higher fucoxanthin concentration will be many times higher than any other organism Faster growing cycles with greater productivity; year-round growth capabilities and no contaminants Large market demand IP PCT, published 2017 for increasing cultivation and productivity in microalgae Achievements Successful proof of concept and operating growing lab
