Sammendrag

The knowledge- and technology platform developed within the ALGAE TO FUTURE project aims to lay a foundation for an industrial microalgae production in Norway. In the project ALGAE TO FUTURE, funded by the Norwegian Research Council 2017-2021, with a consortium of 20 national and international research and industry partners, research and product development of microalgae biomass have been approached from multiple angles merging multiple research fields. The focus of the research has been bioprocess developments linked to lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, where species selection and cultivation conditions are used to obtain microalgae biomass with specific nutrient composition targeting specific products. We have chosen to target the development of three example products, namely 1) bread using algae biomass with high protein content, 2) beer using algae biomass with high content of starch and starch-degrading enzymes, and 3) fish feed using algae biomass with high PUFA content. These case studies have been chosen in order to demonstrate the use of algal biomass from various algae species with highly different nutrient composition suitable for different products. We have in this project studied the whole process line from small scale microalgae cultivation technology, upscaling cultivation, processing of algae biomass, shelf life, food/ feed product development, food safety and consumers attitudes. Some highlights from the four-year project period will be presented. Results from these activities may contribute towards the use of microalgae as part of the future Norwegian bioeconomy.
