Abstract
Microalgae may provide a sustainable alternative for a substantial portion of the European Union market for edible oils and proteins.
- Microalgal oils could replace major vegetable oils and deliver health benefits to food products.
- The production surface available for microalgae is limited, but significant market potential exists.
- Major breakthroughs in production technology and biorefinery approaches are necessary for feasibility.
- Evidence on the safety of novel microalgal ingredients is required before market introduction.
- Microalgae are associated with great potential as a sustainable feedstock for food commodities.
