  • Microalgae-based biomass has great nutritional appeal but still has a high rejection rate due to its color, flavor, and intense odor.

    “One example of a current application is the incorporation of microalgae-based biomass, which has great nutritional appeal but still has a high rejection rate due to its individual characteristics, such as color, flavor, and intense odor (Letras et al., 2022).”

    From Microalgae biotechnology and its role in sustainable and healthy food design (2025) · cites this paper as Letras et al., 2022

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes the nutritional value of microalgae and says their smell, flavour, and colour affect consumer perception. It does not establish a high rejection rate caused by those traits. In §3.2.7, the 5% Spirulina snack was the most liked overall, so the study’s sensory results do not substantiate that stronger claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
