Nestlé plans to bulk up its plant-based portfolio with microalgae-based products. The Swiss food and beverage giant is partnering with Dutch ingredient supplier Corbion to develop what it calls the “next generation” of plant-based products made from microalgae.

The partnership agreement combines Corbion’s microalgae and fermentation capabilities with Nestlé’s product development expertise. The two companies will produce and commercialize microalgae-based ingredients rich in protein and micronutrients and improve microalgae’s functionality, taste and nutritional profile for use in a variety of products.

Microalgae ingredients provide a vegan source of protein. Some species of algae have more protein than beef and more micronutrients than other forms of plant-based foods. Experts say algae is also a sustainable protein source because it requires a fraction of the land, water and resources needed to produce the same amount of protein found in animal protein.
