I used to follow Solazyme which is the basis of Corbion's algae platform. The technology is absolutely amazing, precisely because of its ability to scale in controlled fermentation vats. The sad part is the high cost and lack of investment in the industry that has thus far hindered heterotrophic algaes adoption. This is changing thanks to companies like Corbion and Veramis. It is just disappointing that ridiculously low oil prices (subsidized by lack of environmental cost controls) and overall apathy towards long term investment continues to stall out this future industrys potential.
For those looking at something tangible and here now, look up Thrive culinary algae oil. Its made by Corbion and is one of the healthiest cooking oils on the market today with a neutral taste and very high smoke point.
Thank you for such a good insight into Corbion's technology, I will definitely look at the cooking oïl you are talking about.
Thank you again for passing by.
Best,

Sure thing. To be specific, corbions algae has a very wide scope of products it can go into because it serves as a fats/protein replacement. Specifically it has the ability to replace eggs and butter with an enhanced overall health profile and favorable taste/texture characteristics. Everything from baked goods to ice cream can be improved And while sadly ready now, money to scale up operations and the very slow pace of change in food is whats really holding things back. Ive actually tasted many of these products myself so needless to say im pretty excited of the many directions nestle can move this into. All the same, its disappointing to me to know itll likely be several years before any of this hits mainstream shelves because of how slow the industry moves.
