Fuente: Protein Report Microalgae, those tiny organisms that thrive in water and sunlight, hold immense potential for addressing the world’s protein sustainability challenges. Despite their diminutive size, these microscopic powerhouses offer a wealth of amino acids and other nutrients. With protein contents typically ranging from 30% to 80% — figures that surpass those of common sources such as dried skim milk, soy flour, chicken, fish, and peanuts — it’s not only the quantity of protein per unit of biomass that’s impressive, but also the quality. Several microalgal species are known to possess amino acid profiles that meet or exceed FAO standards for a well-balanced protein source, with some notable species including Arthrospira platensis, Dunaliella salina, and Galdieria sulphuraria.
