Embodiments herein are directed to methods for preparing and compositions containing microalgae biomass. Described herein are, for example, methods of preparing a microalgal flour that involve culturing microalgae, concentrating the microalgae into a microalgal biomass sludge, washing the microalgal biomass sludge, adjusting the pH of the microalgal biomass sludge, and drying the microalgal biomass sludge to produce the microalgal flour. Also disclosed are food products supplemented with microalgae biomass, including for example microalgal flour, a protein concentrate, or a protein isolate. |
