Algae in bread and other bakery products

  • e-number free: bread and other bakery products are free of E numbers.
  • essential nutrients: source of protein, fatty acids and antioxidants.
  • salt reduction: bread and other bakery products can contain up to 30% less salt. 
  • algae can improve the structure of bread, support binding and may prolong shelf life.

Algae are a source of protein, fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibres. In sweet and savoury bakery products, you can directly add algae as a dry powder to the dough.

Algae are available in various colour and taste profiles. Use algae in sweat and savoury recipes. Our algae range from white and yellow to a natural dark green and from a neutral to a strong umami taste profile. Phycom microalgae have consistent quality and superior purity
