JOTIS is harnessing Microalgae for developing innovative products

At Jotis, we’re proud to bring you a groundbreaking product that combines innovation in food production with a deep commitment to sustainability. Our crackers, enriched with Chlorella, are not just a tasty and nutritious snack but also a shining example of how Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) can shape the future of food.

The journey of our crackers enriched with Chlorella begins with the pioneering approach of IMTA. This eco-friendly method enables the cultivation of multiple species, such as fish, shellfish, and algae, in a balanced system where the by-products of one species support the growth of another. In our case, algae like Chlorella were used to further develop a new product that follows market trends offering consumers a healthy alternative.

By integrating nutrient-rich microalgae to a convenient snack like cracker, we not only create a unique ingredient that elevates the nutritional profile of our products but also contributes to a more sustainable food production system. The collaboration with our partners in IMTA proves that sustainable aquaculture can lead to innovative, high-quality food products that are both good for consumers and good for the planet.

At Jotis, our commitment to quality and safety is non-negotiable. From the moment the Chlorella is harvested to the final packaging of the crackers, we adhere to state-of-the-art processes and rigorous quality controls. We conduct in-depth microbiological and quality analyses to ensure that every batch of our products meets the highest standards for consumer safety.

We use advanced technology such as GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) to evaluate the lipid profile of our products, ensuring they contain a healthy balance of fats and essential nutrients. Additionally, we perform ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) to monitor the presence of metals and trace elements, safeguarding the purity and nutritional value of our crackers. These high-precision methods help us deliver a product that is not only delicious but also safe and beneficial for your health.

Chlorella is renowned for its rich nutrient profile, including high levels of protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Incorporating this microalga into our crackers adds a functional food aspect, enhancing the nutritional value while maintaining the great taste and texture our consumers love.

We have received positive feedback from consumers who appreciate the unique flavor and health benefits of our Chlorella-enriched crackers. As awareness of sustainable food production grows, consumers are increasingly seeking products that align with their values. Our crackers offer the perfect balance of sustainability, taste, and nutrition, making them a trusted choice for health-conscious individuals.
