Microalgae Yougurt

Protect your immune system with a delicious microalgae yogurt!

Probiotics are beneficial forms of gut bacteria that help stimulate the natural digestive juices and enzymes that keep our digestive organs functioning properly.

Microalgae are probiotic foods that have been shown to increase the amount of both Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the digestive tract.

In addition to detoxify our body, microalgae stimulate the immune system.

Must have: yogurt maker
Makes: 7 Servings
Time: 15min preparation + 8h yogurt maker + 2h gauze (optional)

Ingredients:

2g microalgae

20g sugar

Thin shavings of ½ lemon

1 litre of milk at room temperature

1 natural yogurt

Muesli to taste

Directions:

 1 Add the microalgae to the sugar and stir till is nice and even.

 2 Pour all the remaining ingredients, except the Muesli, in a suitable container, and stir till everything is completely blended.

 3 Pour the mixture into the various cups of the yogurt maker and turn it on for 8 hours.

 4 If you want a thicker yogurt, a creamier type, after the 8 hours, put the yogurt in a strainer lined with gauze on top of a container and let the serum of the yogurt run for 2 hours to become more concentrated.

Training network for exploring microalgae diversity for the development of novel antiviral compounds

Project number: 101086437

Objectives:

  • Develop transcriptomics and metabolomics resources from microalgae diversity as a valuable source of novel lectins and polyphenols with antiviral properties
  • Develop and optimize application-based microalgae culture systems at different scales and optimize culture conditions and downstream processing strategies for higher production rate of desired products
  • A range of different unexploited so far strains (extremophiles) that display high ability to produce polyphenols will be characterised and assessed
  • Develop, formulate and in vitro evaluate a new range of cosmetic products with antiviral activity, based on microalgae polyphenols and lectins
  • Provide a platform for the efficient transfer of knowledge and training between the academic and commercial partners
  • Identify and exploit new and emerging market opportunities

Period: January 2023 to December 2026

Blue Bioeconomy Pact – Algae Vertical

Pacto da Bioeconomia Azul - Vertical Algas

Reference: C644915664-00000026

Objectives:

  • The Blue Bioeconomy Pact (Pacto da Bioeconomia Azul, PBA) has the main goal to drive the development of a cutting-edge industrial sector in Portugal, based on applying marine bioresources to a range of industries. The consortium is made up of 83 Portuguese organisations, organized in 7 industrial verticals.
  • The Algae Vertical is one of the PBA verticals and is led by Necton. Its main objective is to valorise the entire value chain of the Algae sector in Portugal. Therefore, it has around 40 entities from the Portuguese business and academic sector, focused on the use of nutrients or waste from other industries, the digitalization/automation of production processes, the improvement of knowledge about algae and the development of new products based on algae.

Period: July 2022 – December 2025

REALM

Reusing Effluents from Agriculture to unLock the potential of Microalgae

Grant agreement ID: 101060991

Goal: REALM will transform nutrient-rich drain waters from soilless farms into value, by producing microalgae at reduced costs while treating water and capturing CO2 from the air. This concept will increase the circularity and profitability of microalgal production and soilless farming.

Coordinator: Necton
