From algae biomass to
ingredients that work
Tint takes algae biomass (micro and macro) and turns it into functional ingredients through a controlled biorefinery workflow:
Fractionation → Purification → Stabilization → Formulation
We’re not selling raw biomass. We’re engineering repeatable ingredient performance.
Functional performance
color, stability, sensory, compatibility
Batch-to-batch consistency
spec-driven production
Manufacturability
scalable unit operations, predictable yields
Biorefineries unlock economics and performance
Single-product extraction limits yield and cost. A biorefinery approach designs the process around multiple fractions from one biomass stream; enabling better recovery, better economics and a scalable portfolio.

Product formats
Downstream processing engineered like an ingredients plant
Our core competency is DSP. Tint designs and validates scalable unit operations to separate target molecules while protecting functionality.
Cell disruption
Controlled release of target compounds while minimizing degradation.
Purification & polishing
Adjusting purity, removing off-notes, controlling ions, improving consistency.
Solid-liquid separation
Removing biomass solids to obtain a clarified extract (centrifugation/filtration).
Concentration
Bringing the fraction to application-relevant strength for final formulation.
Membrane fractionation
Precision separation using MF/UF/NF depending on the target fraction.
Everything makes sense
Unit operations are selected to be scalable, robust, and cost-effective, not “lab-only.”
Stabilization that enables real applications
Most algae-derived ingredients fail not because they’re weak, but because they’re not stabilized for industrial stressors. Tint’s stabilization and encapsulation work is designed to preserve function under real conditions.
Encapsulation technology
Tint is developing encapsulation systems that protect sensitive algae-derived molecules and improve performance in challenging applications. Encapsulation design is tuned to:
Protect active and sensitive molecules from degradation
Improve dispersion and formulation robustness
Enable delivery in different formats (liquid concentrates, powders)
How we deploy this technology globally
We scale by partnering with biomass producers. Partners operate plants; Tint delivers process design, validation, controls and commercialization.
