flag UConn scientists boost microalgae protein 50% using food waste, creating sustainable feed and food.

flag Researchers at the University of Connecticut have developed a method to boost microalgae protein content by up to 50% using a mixotrophic growth process with sodium acetate from food waste, such as cheese whey. flag The technique, supported by USDA, DOE, and NSF, aims to create sustainable, low-cost protein for animal feed and human consumption, reducing reliance on petrochemical-based supplements and repurposing waste.
