jsc2025e015696 (10/13/2025) --- An example of plant-based ice cream made with Chlorella protein concentrate. The SOPHie’s ON hamSTER (SOPHONSTER) investigation aims to cultivate microalgae (Chlorella sp.) in a space environment to study growth, protein content, and cell wall rigidity under microgravity conditions. Results could elucidate ways to improve plant-based, protein-rich alternatives to cow dairy. Image courtesy of Sophie’s BioNutrients.
