Also disclosed in the present specification is a novel method for blending a food composition in which a microalgal biomass of the present invention is used, such as beverage, baked preparation, egg preparation, low fat food and gluten-free food. The provision of a food composition incorporating the microalgal biomass of the present invention to human has an additional benefit of providing a good to health ingredient while achieving a satiety level sufficient to reduce further caloric intake. The present invention also provides a novel microalgal strain which has been subjected to non-transgenic mutagenesis process which is sufficient to reduce the coloring of the biomass produced by the strain.SELECTED DRAWING: None
