Algaia S.A. Satialgine DVA seaweed extract

Algaia S.A. has introduced Satialgine DVA, a next-generation seaweed extract ingredient for dairy and non-dairy desserts. This alginate line provides a unique rich and creamy texture in desserts such as low-fat dairy flans.

The line of alginate ingredients is designed to create a rich, creamy, indulgent texture without the use of eggs or traditional additives. Alginate ingredients are well known to strongly interact with calcium, creating potential technological complexity limiting their use by dairy manufacturers.

The series is an easy-to-use product for the dairy industry, offering a rich, creamy, indulgent profile with a low-fat advantage. It can be used in non-dairy dessert formulations based on soy, almond or coconut.

Thanks to properties such as solubility at low temperatures, the alginate can help manufacturers save time and energy; preserve sensitive ingredients (vitamins, flavours); and reduce fat oxidation, making the overall process and product more cost-effective.

The company harvests brown algae just a few kilometres from its plant in Brittany, France, to ensure a constant fresh, local supply of the raw material. It minimises transportation time prior to processing, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and need for seaweed preservation.
