Seaweed-Derived Functional Ingredients

At Future of Food Tech, Marine Biologics debuted SeaTex, a single-ingredient, high-performance, patent-pending seaweed powder to simplify food and beverage formulations. “Seaweed has long offered the promise of an abundant and renewable alternative ingredient, but a narrow understanding of its chemical composition and outdated production methods have led to highly refined ingredients that consumers are no longer interested in seeing on their ingredient labels,” said Marine Biologics CEO Patrick Griffin. “With our breakthrough processing capabilities, we provide product developers and brand teams with new tools to meet consumer demands for cleaner labels.” Formulation-friendly, vegan-friendly SeaTex is sourced from GRAS, ocean-harvested brown seaweed, contains zero additives, synthetic ingredients, or carrageenans, and allows manufacturers to eliminate gums, bulking agents and more.

With this seaweed-derived functional ingredient and other innovations, Marine Biologics is building the next generation of clean-label ingredients by pairing AI with standardized seaweed inputs.
