Protein as a research field
Dried biomass can reach a high protein content. The spread of published results also shows how strongly genetics and process conditions influence the outcome.
All essential amino acids have been identified in analysed strains. For a specific ingredient, however, this does not replace batch testing or a product specification.
More than one macronutrient
Research also examines fibre, minerals, carotenoids, folate and fatty acids. These values do not necessarily come from the same plant or production system.
AquaSphere therefore distinguishes clearly between knowledge about the species, individual research strains and future analytical data for a defined material.
What a robust claim requires
Public nutrition claims require representative samples, validated methods, a defined product form and legal review. Only this combination turns a literature value into reliable product information.
