Algal proteins for sustainable nutrition and functional food innovation
Open accessAbstract
• Nutritional composition and comparative benefits of algal vs. plant-based proteins. • Health benefits and disease prevention with algal proteins. • Techniques for extracting peptides from algae. • Current Industrial applications and research on algal protein products. • Therapeutic potential of algal proteins in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. In the search for sustainable and nutritious food sources, algal proteins have emerged as a promising option. Algal proteins present a high-protein alternative, with algae offering a rich nutritional profile packed with vitamins, minerals, bioactive compounds, and dietary fibers. This review provides an in-depth exploration of algal proteins' potential as functional food ingredients, highlighting their health benefits, including cardiovascular support, metabolic health, weight management, and antioxidant properties. Their functional properties, such as emulsifying, foaming and gelling capabilities make them versatile for use in food applications. The growing acceptance of algal proteins among consumers is revealed through current market trends and applications. This review also addresses the challenges in utilizing algal proteins, such as technological, regulatory, and consumer issues like taste and odor aversion, and suggests strategies for overcoming these obstacles through innovative formulation approaches. However, continued research and advancements are required to fully utilize the potential of algal proteins in functional foods. In conclusion, algal proteins are a promising sustainable functional food ingredient, with implications for both the food industry and consumer health. Incorporating algal proteins into food products addresses sustainability concerns while providing nutritional advantages, paving the way for a greener and healthier food future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
