Is algae the food of the future? | Mission Ahead

[@Misterz3r0]

Turn it into a protein powder, and you have a winner. Most protein powders aren't complete proteins. But if algae is, it stands to reason that it can replace many of the soy-based protein powders on the market.

They never said it was a complete protein, they said it has all the essential amino acids, only 6 out of the 21 amino acids are considered essential. Although having all the essential ones is helpful.

[@zinck2245]

honestly, I hope stuff like this does become everyday food, as the problem with livestock using so much of our resources (AND vegetables/fruits) has become such a huge problem

[@camakhil3612]

As chef i would really take an initiative to introduce this into my menu

[@rockopaws1610]

I feel like a problem would be that while this could serve as a way to make food healthier, it’s not going to drive out larger types of agriculture/ food cultivation. People are still going to want their variety of different food options and the algae farms are just providing another variety to food ,not solving the issue of resource overuse. It’s also possible that this could ironically could end up contributing to the issue a small amount as well.

[@JA238979]

Well, if you follow protocol, edible varieties of seaweed (algae of the sea, in Spanish) can be like spinach, etc. People that are unwilling to eat it still need enough iodine for endocrine health (e.g. thyroid gland), so the U.S. government ensures that almost all table salts contain iodine.

[@shreyanss]

i think iodine in salt is a worldwide norm , not just u.s.

[@cool06alt]

Not all Microalgae need to be from saltwater variant, freshwater variant do exist

[@Lugmillord]

I would eat it as some sort of veggie, not just supplement. I love wakame and hijiki seaweed salad, so I bet I would enjoy meals that include algae in a clever way. But as of now, it's expensive to get these things in middle Europe which is sad. It's the future that can't come soon enough.

[@vykx88]

2:57 "They're eating her...and they're going to eat me....OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!"

[@Elliandr]

Being able to grow productively in ocean water is a big selling point. It would probably do very well in competition for desert growth real estate. The strain of Spirulina that I developed for norther growing in winter can grow in ocean water, and we use evaporated seawater as part of it's nutritional needs, but it doesn't do as well in ocean water as it does it fresh water. Of course, we can also fully recycle our water usage, and by covering the tanks we don't have losses due to evaporation. (Spirulina, btw, is a cyanobacteria. Not an algae. That gives it an advantage over algae, which cannot be fully digested without processing due to it's cellulose based cell walls. Another advantage is that algae cannot be legally grown in most US cities. It's also 65% protein, and likewise has all the nutrients humans need, except for Vitamin D)

You've got a sharp eye. But I think the issue can be handled. Ships sail in oceans for thousands of kilometers. They don't rust right ?

[@de0509]

The ships are painted and sometimes have sacrificial metals stuck on the hull. Probably dont want either of those in the food

[@jackrush1222]

why not use plastic for the inside of the tubes then?

[@de0509]

And then you get microplastics because it all needs to be sitting in the sun and the suns rays can have enough energy to break the covalent bonds in plastics

[@jesuschrist6705]

how about instead of sunlight use those UV lights and put the algea inside

Use Pre-Flood environmental conditions and you can use just a fraction of the total land area. We have other technologies that were discovered in the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. By combing them all together in a integrated system to produce a synergistic process we were able to mass produce edible food micro-algae by the hundreds of metric tons per day with just one unit inside a small warehouse.

Crops and cattle will have reduce production after algae takes off for environmental reasons. Then it will become extremely expensive so no one but the rich can afford it. Forcing others to pay for algae at the same cost regular food is today. Even though they will in the beginning promote it being a cheap alternative especially for the poor.

I've tried that burger which is sold by a popular fast food chain, "beyond".. I could not tell the difference between that particular plant derived ground beef substitute, and real beef burger. If it can be done using plant material, the next step would be to find algae that could be used as the source material. The idea is to find algae which can be used to duplicate or closely approximate popular meats, which can be grown in space. There is presently food producing technology which is able to manufacture an alternative or substitute chicken meat using wheat gluten, which seems to be successful, in terms of food marketability. When space industry evolves, it would be nice for in-space workers and space tourists etc to be able to consume foods produced in-space, yet are indistinguishable from the real meat foods back on Earth..

[@zuutlmna]

Many of us are aware of the high lipid/hydrocarbon (energy/fuel) algae research.. That also has great in-space potential..Space industries will need fuels, in addition to in-space produced hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel algae may also be found to grow in space, as another in-space industry.

For every job created in-space, there may be as many as 10 (or more!) created on land (all labor types) which support or facilitate that one in-space job.
