Abstract
In the field of biomass valorization, in particular algal biomass, a method for obtaining a food drink having a long shelf life, preferably of more than 6 months, of acidic pH, preferably made from fruit juice, includes extracts of eukaryotic or prokaryotic microalgae (cyanobacteria). The stabilised food drink obtained by this method is also disclosed.
Claims20
A method for obtaining a food drink with a long shelf life at ambient temperature with an acidic pH comprising eukaryotic or prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) microalgae, and/or purified water-soluble compounds extracted from eukaryotic or prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) microalgae, wherein said method comprises at least:
- a. one step of mixing said extracts and/or water-soluble compounds with the ingredients of the drink that are sensitive to heat treatments, said mixture being maintained at a pH greater than 7;
- b. one optional step of mixing the ingredients of the drink that are not sensitive to heat treatments with the ingredient or ingredients that have an acidic pH;
- c. one step of sterilisation by microfiltration of the mixture obtained at step a);
- d. one step of sterilisation by microfiltration or by heat treatment of the mixture obtained at step b) or of the ingredient with an acidic pH;
- e. one step of homogenising the sterilised mixtures obtained at steps c) and d);
- and
- f. obtaining a drink with a long shelf life and an acidic pH comprising extracts of eukaryotic or prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) microalgae and/or purified water-soluble compounds extracted from eukaryotic or prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) microalgae.
