Trophic explores potential of red seaweed protein concentrate as multi-functional ingredient in plant-based meat, seafood
Founded by Beth Zotter (who had previously researched seaweed’s potential as a biofuel) and Dr. Amanda Stiles (who previously headed up research at plant-protein specialist Ripple Foods) in 2019, Trophic is looking to commercialize a 65% protein concentrate from higher-protein varieties of red seaweed that could work in a variety of applications from meat and seafood alternatives to salty snacks and protein bars.
