Access to a range of N°. 1 European expertise on algae for the food industry.

Since 2014, the Sensalg’ programme, labelled by Valorial, characterises and evaluates the capability of algae to undergo transformations in the view of their inclusion in the food sector.

Today, Sensalg’ is keeping the momentum and is now opening up to new partners. Are you a private company in the agro-industrial business? Do you have the feeling that algae can contribute to the development of your activity? Do you wish to connect to development and innovation opportunities? Join our network:

A commun project

The Sensalg’ platform finds its origin in 2 successive collaborative projects, initiated for the first in 2015. Sensalg’ has grown with the actors over the years, and in particular by the integration, from the start of the consortium, of seaweed farmers, companies, technical centres, representatives of seaweed professionals, etc.

This joint project resulting from the scientific and technical collaboration of the 5 Breton technical centers of ACT food Bretagne has been built and shaped to measure for you! From upstream to downstream, from the idea to the project and from the project to the final product, you will find on this platform all the scientific and regulatory references, technical and scientific articles, news, recipes and practical workshops, products, addresses of restaurants, webinars, videos on edible seaweed!

Interested in developing seaweed products? Looking for recipe inspiration? Which species for which tastes and which recipes? Which species and which volumes in France? Where do I get supplies? Is there an organic label for seaweed? Do you want to highlight your already developed products? Which restaurants eat seaweed? Do you want to train or learn how to cook seaweed? …

So many questions and many more to which the Sensalg’’ platform answers.
