EDIBLE COATINGS
• Microalgae oils and Spirulina protein extract (10 to 20%) incorporated into an edible
polysaccharide coating shows good barrier properties to water vapor and oxygen barrier
properties, respectively.
• Microalgae-based coatings present good firmness and reduce slightly the superficial scald.
• Validation at semi-industrial scale treating 1 Tons of fresh harvested ‘Conference’ pears,
stored in a cold room (0ºC and 95%RH) for 5 months, showing a food preservation performance
compared to the commercial alternative.
• Positive consumer evaluation regarding the general acceptability and external appearance of
pears treated with the SALTGAE prototypes.

Conclusions
WP 4 Valorisationof AlgaeBiomass
• Materials from microalgae
– Acrylates and non-isocyanate polyurethanes for wood potentially
obtainable from lipid fraction
– Edible coatings for fruit from microalgae oils and protein-rich fractions
with improved barrier properties
– Functional biofillers for thermoplastic protein compounds (gluten) and
ceramic pastes; inert biofiller for rubber compounds
• Microalgae as animal feed
– Partial substitution of fish meal in animal feed is feasible, with
beneficial health effects in the prestarter diet of piglets
