Abstract

Sales of plant-based foods are booming. The growing popularity of non-animal protein sources has led to their increased presence in grocery stores and fast-food restaurants. Even while venture capital investments declined due to the COVID-19 pandemic, start-ups focused on plant-based ingredients raised millions (https://tinyurl.com/plantbasedinvestments).

With so much lucrative potential in plant-based ingredients, some companies are trying to capitalize on algae as a unique source of protein and fatty acids. © 2021, American Oil Chemists Society.
