Triton is a San Diego-based startup company committed to bringing to market a nutritious green algae, as a sustainable and affordable source of alternative protein to help meet growing global demand. This algae is GRAS for its intended use in food products, and contains high levels of protein, Vitamin A, essential amino acids and Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils. It is poised to become an affordable addition to healthy diets, as an ingredient in existing or new food products.

Triton’s algae is also a platform for the safe expression of high-value proteins which to date have been difficult or impossible to produce at a commercial scale. These include colostrum proteins, which occur naturally in the breast milk of all mammals and are of great interest to the infant nutrition sector, and heme proteins, which are of high interest to “alt-meat” producers.
