13 May 2020 --- French biomarine ingredients company Algaia has completed a €2.2 million (US$2.3 million) investment round to continue fueling its double-digit growth. One of the company’s main growth engines is VegAlg, its range of seaweed-based texturing solutions, which is designed to contribute shape and structure, as well as add juiciness to plant-based burgers. Meanwhile, with the COVID-19 pandemic shining a light on the way people cook and use ingredients at home, Algaia has also launched a new range of alginates to boost the shelf-life of processed cheese in cordon bleu filets.
