Nutritional Enhancer
Adds nutritional value to food products and brings essential nutrients for vegan diets
- C.vulgaris accumulates high-quality proteins, with well-balanced amino acid profiles. C.vulgaris is also reportedas important source of polysaccharides or oligosaccharides, being proposed as potential prebiotic candidates(Martin et al., 2020).
- C.vulgaris synthesizes polyunsaturated fatty acids from the omega-6 family (n-6) (linoleic acid) and the omega-3 family (n-3) (alpha-linolenic acid) (Lidiane et al., 2018)
- C.vulgaris is a rich source of vitamins, notably vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6 (Watanabe et al., 2002).
Prebiotic
Suitable for prebiotic and symbiotic uses in dairy or dairy-like products
- C.vulgaris liberates exopolysaccharides that can stimulate lactic acid bacteria growth in dairy products (Martin et al., 2016 ; Remize et al., 2021)
- C.vulgaris can promote the gut microbiota and could participate in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the human body (Wan et al., 2018)
Structurer & Texture
Enhances the structure and texture of your food products
- C.vulgaris had a positive impact on the rheological features of doughs, acts on the viscoelastic characteristics, and participates in strengthening the gluten network (Graça et al., 2018).
- The supplementation (0.5–2%) with C.vulgaris results in an improvement of cooking and textural properties. C.vulgaris can increase firmness of pasta (Fradique et al., 2010).
Health
General health benefits
- C.vulgaris is an essential source of vitamin B12 which gives many beneficial health effects (Koyande et al., 2019 ; Ryan-Harshman & Aldoori, 2008)
- C.vulgaris supplementation reduces cardiovascular risk factors by improving total cholesterol levels, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Fallah et al., 2018)
- C.vulgaris is rich in essential amino-acids able to regular cardio-vascular functions.
- C.vulgaris has a powerful capacity to detoxify the body of heavy metals such as mercury, ash and heterocyclic amines via induction of antioxidant enzymes and acts as an ion exchange resin (Qian et al.,2016; Lee et al.,2015, Rani et al.,2018).
- C.vulgaris ameliorates physiological health conditions by improving the immune function and by increasing the production of cytokine (An et al., 2008).
