Description

GOLDEN CHLORELLA is an innovative microalgae ingredient for plant-based and vegan foods. It provides highly bioavailable vitamin B12, folate, and essential amino acids, improves texture in high-moisture meat analogues (HMMA) and textured vegetable proteins (TVP), and enhances the sensory profile with natural umami notes. This makes Golden Chlorella ideal for meat alternatives, cheese and egg replacements, as well as protein-rich applications with clean-label positioning.

Innovations

Targeted nutritional optimization for vegan foods

Many plant-based foods have a limited nutrient spectrum – particularly vitamin B12, folate, and essential amino acids are often missing or only present in small amounts. Golden Chlorella closes this gap and enables targeted nutrient enrichment in vegan formulations. The microalga delivers highly bioavailable vitamin B12 and folate in relevant amounts, complements all nine essential amino acids, and supports a balanced supply. This allows manufacturers to create vegan foods that meet the expectations of health-conscious consumers – without compromising texture or sensory quality.

Flavor masking for a clean taste profile

Proteins from peas or soy are the basis of many meat alternatives such as high-moisture meat analogues (HMMA) or textured vegetable proteins (TVP), but they often carry beany or earthy notes. Golden Chlorella acts as a natural flavor masker: it reduces the perception of these typical off-flavors and promotes a neutral, balanced taste profile. This results in plant-based products with high protein content that require little to no additional flavoring while maintaining a clear clean-label positioning.

Natural texture improvement for meat-like products

Beyond nutrition and flavor, texture is key to the acceptance of modern meat alternatives. Golden Chlorella specifically enhances the structure of HMMA and TVP by supporting a meat-like fiber structure, improved bite, and juicy consistency. Depending on dosage, different texture profiles can be achieved – from tender chicken-style products to robust beef analogues. Manufacturers benefit from flexible formulation options and reliable process results in extruded or plant-based meat products.
