Microalgae have been used as natural ingredients to produce functional and nutritional food products. The impact of the addition of Chlorella minutissima, Isochrysis galbana, and Picochlorum sp. at concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 1.5% w/v on the texture and sensory attributes of canned burgers were investigated. The results show that carp formulations containing 1% microalgae show significantly better classification performance for many textural and sensory parameters compared to the rest of the formulations. Also, these treatments had higher swelling ability as well as water and oil holding capacities, thanks to the important dietary fiber and polysaccharide contents found in microalgae. Moreover, microalgae-supplemented burgers were characterized as having low a* and b* values, which made the color appear to be pale orange. Additionally, thanks to its richness in pigments and polysaccharides, microalgae considerably ameliorated the antioxidant activities of the new prepared fish burgers. Thus, microalgae could be used as natural and nutritious ingredient to develop new fish-based products.
