Non-toxic proteins and omega-3 from algae and method of making same
Disclosed is a non-toxic omega-3 rich extract and non-toxic miscella and a method of producing same. The method may include obtaining an aqueous microalgae slurry comprising at least 65% water; mixing the aqueous microalgae slurry with ethanol for a predetermined duration; separating the aqueous microalgae slurry-ethanol mixture to liquids and miscella; and evaporating the water and the ethanol from the liquid to receive a liquid extract. In some embodiments, the miscella contains organic material and ash at an amount below 15 dry weight %.
