The demand for aquafeed is expected to increase in the coming years and new ingredients will be needed compensate low fish meal oil availability. Microalgae represent a promising matrix future formulation, however, high production cost hinders its application. use of microalgae from biorefinery would reduce disposal costs production. present study aimed (i) verify growth on digestate pig farming (ii) evaluate their potential valorization as dietary ingredient according Circular Bioeconomy...
Arthrospira platensis is a source of proteins, polysaccharides, polyunsaturated fatty acids (in tiny amounts) and phenolic components that give it different biological properties. The type nutrients present in the culture medium can influence microalga metabolism and, consequently, growth, composition content nutrients, bioactive compounds In this work, A. was cultivated laboratory using six media (Zarrouk as standard medium, Media 1–5), containing nitrogen sources, subsequently harvested...
