Hoe ontstaat onze Plankton?

How is our Plankton created?

In this blog post, we will take a deep dive into the production process of Plankton: a nutritious microorganism. We will specifically look at the steps of growing, harvesting, drying and packaging this special algae.

Growing Plankton :

Plankton production begins with the careful selection of algae strains. The algae are grown in controlled environments to ensure optimal growth conditions. Nature does the rest!

  1. Growing facilities: Our nursery provides the perfect climate for the Plankton to grow. Here, parameters such as temperature, light intensity and nutrients are carefully controlled to create the optimal growing conditions.

  2. Photosynthesis: Plankton perform photosynthesis (remember from biology class?), converting carbon dioxide into oxygen and organic compounds. This conversion produces valuable nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals.

  3. Harvesting: Once the algae reaches the desired density and nutrients, they are harvested.

Drying of Plankton:

Drying Plankton is a crucial step to preserve its nutritional value and extend its shelf life.

  1. Gentle drying: The marine phytoplankton is dried gently at the lowest possible temperature. This minimizes the degradation of heat-sensitive nutrients.

  2. Nutrient retention: Gentle drying methods keep important nutrients intact, resulting in products with high nutritional value.

  3. Packaging: After drying, Plankton is carefully packaged to maintain freshness. Airtight packaging is essential to prevent oxidation and maintain nutritional quality.

The production process behind Plankton is a precise and careful series of steps. With knowledge of these processes, we can develop a deeper understanding of the benefits that Plankton can provide, both for our health and for the environment.
