The Algae4IBD team recently met in Faro to share progress on unlocking algae’s potential for health and nutrition.
From testing algae compounds for probiotic, prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties, to developing foods that contain bioactive compounds, we’re seeing promising results.
What’s next?
- Completing sustainability & economic analyses
- Resolving the structure of more compounds
- Fine-tuning enrichment of our most promising compounds
- Microbiome & toxicity studies
- Omics analysis of ex vivo experiments
- Testing the shelf-life of the developed foods and the effects of digestion on the bioactivity
Stay tuned!
