07 Nov 2019 --- Nestlé is joining forces with Dutch food and biochemicals company Corbion for the development of microalgae-based ingredients for plant-based products. The collaboration comes as the Swiss food giant continues to sharpen its plant-based focus having been involved in several new product innovations in the last year. This partnership seeks to develop the “next generation of microalgae-based ingredients” to be used across broader applications and to deliver sustainable and nutritious products. Corbion tells FoodIngredientsFirst that although the collaboration is in the R&D phase with commercialization and markets to be determined later, it has the potential to “open important avenues for algae-based products into large global markets.”
