ENERGY AND NUTRITION FROM microALGES
Algamoil Crypthecodinium cohnii
Algamoil Crypthecodinium cohnii is able to accumulate more than 20% of dry biomass lipids. More than 30% of total lipids are omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 are polyunsaturated fatty acids with a double bond (C=C) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid, since we are unable to synthesize it.
Research, development and production
of omega-3
In our R&D department we are developing new pharmaceutical products and food supplements from algae. The constant research in cooperation with the best Universities, led to the development of a little-known field with great potential.
The patented closed circuit technology without contact with air allows to obtain 100% organic products, as opposed to the open ponds technology, which are usually contaminated by external agents.
Omega-3 are used for the following purposes:
- Platelet aggregation inhibition (antithrombotic effect);
- Monitoring of plasma levels in triglycerides;
- Blood pressure control;
- Improvement of night vision in adults;
- Optimization of brain functions, from depression, cognition, and memory to mental health.
