A composition comprising a microalgae polysaccharide, produced the composition by: a) isolating a microalgae polysaccharide; b) drying the isolated polysaccharide to form a film that has been totally or partially insoluble in water by heating; and c) homogenize the film to generate particles, where the particles increase in volume upon contact with water compared to their anhydrous or partially hydrated volume, wherein step b) is carried out by (i) heating in two parts in where the second heating is at a temperature of 148 ° C to 160 ° C, or (ii) heating at a temperature of 135 ° C to 152 ° C. |
