As you know, the algae are at the heart of our active ingredient, Alga-Gorria\u00ae<\/a>. Molecules with potent antioxidant, rich in trace elements and minerals or essential amino acid salts, they reveal a potential research after research uncommon. The opportunity for us to take stock of a few areas where they are used as raw material.<\/p>\n

Whether red or brown algae have long been used in several areas, starting with food. Indeed, Rhodophyceae (Red Seaweed) which are based on research Laboratoires de Biarritz, are well known for their gelling properties found in the food additive called agar.<\/p>\n

The gelling properties of algae, it is also what has allowed the development of \u00ab\u00a0Ohoo\u00a0\u00bb that could help eliminate plastic bottles oceans. The principle is simple, it comes to packing sips of water in an edible membrane. Designed by three students, including two French, \u00ab\u00a0Ohoo\u00a0\u00bb could quickly be distributed at events such as marathons, before any health checks for distribution on a larger scale\u2026<\/p>\n
