In a cross-over design, pestos enriched with different levels of the microalgae Phaeodactylumtricornutum (2-3-4%) will be tested. The bioavailability of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, in particular EPA and carotenoids, will be analysed in blood plasma postprandially within two days after a single dose. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated from the measured data. The aim of the study is to gain insight into the bioavailability of selected microalgae constituents and the acceptance of microalgae pesto.
