Edible Oils + Human Nutrition

Human Nutrition

Solazyme’s renewable triglyceride oils are rich in heart healthy unsaturated fats, contain no trans fats, are shelf stable, low in saturated fats, and are composed of a variety of valuable fatty acid profiles. The oils are also high in antioxidants and other valuable nutrition materials, including phospholipids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, sterols, and carotenoids.

In addition to oils, edible algal flour products from Solazyme’s microalgae technology platform are naturally encapsulated lipid delivery vehicles which can facilitate the addition of oils and fats to many food and beverage systems, such as dry mixes and bakery products. Solazyme has also developed naturally encapsulated microalgae protein delivery vehicles which can facilitate the addition of algae-derived vegetarian protein to many food and beverage systems, such as drinks, bars, non-meat burgers, and meal replacers

Animal Nutrition

  • High lipid algae meals are rich in monounsaturated, non-trans fatty acids. These lipid-rich materials are health promoting, shelf stable, high energy feed ingredients.
  • High protein algae meals are rich in essential amino acids. These protein-rich materials are primary sources of essential amino acids, and also provide monounsaturated lipids, carbohydrates, and phyconutrients as part of a balanced diet.
  • Fiber and carbohydrate-rich algae meals are high energy feed ingredients. Co-products from creating algal oils, these fiber and carbohydrate-rich meals contain unique, highly digestible mixtures of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and are useful as nutrient sources for animal feeds.
