Description (French)
En tant que sous-produit de son processus de fermentation de précision produisant de l’huile oméga-3, Mara produit un flux riche en protéines qui peut être séché en poudre. Des projets antérieurs ont exploré l’utilisation de ce coproduit comme source alternative de protéines pour diverses applications. La portée de ce processus permet aux clients de Mara de combiner une fraction protéique avec un composant lipidique oméga-3, fournissant ainsi une solution nutritionnelle algale enrichie.
