Roquette Microalgae Lipid Ingredient is Designated GRAS
Roquette, a global leader in renewable, plant-based raw materials, has obtained GRAS designation for its microalgae-based lipid food ingredient. Continuing its legacy of breakthrough food innovations, Roquette has, since 2006, shown leadership in creating whole food ingredients that draw on the inherent nutritional value of microalgae and recently featured its lipid ingredient at the International Baking Industry Exposition.
“At the IBIE, we showcased our microalgal lipid in a variety of bakery applications: brownies, crackers, and muffins. In each application, the use of microalgae enabled us to significantly reduce the total calories and fat while maintaining the positive sensory attributes consumers expect,” said Fernando Arias, Commercial Vice President of Roquette America.
