Abstract Microalgae (including cyanobacteria) are promising organisms for sustainable products use as feedstocks food, feed, fine chemicals, and biofuels. They can synthesize a broad range of with medium‐ to high‐value market price such β‐1,3‐glucan polysaccharide, single‐cell‐protein, carotenoids phycobilin pigments, long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that commercialized in the food industry dietary supplements functional foods, pharmaceutical chemical industries cosmaceuticals...
Abstract Microalgae contain high levels of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, have found a useful application in enhancing the nutritional value foods. These organisms can also synthesize long‐chain fatty acids form triacylglycerols, such as α‐linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA), linolenic (LA), γ‐linolenic (GLA) arachidonic (AA). The aim this study was to determine chemical composition measure protein, fibers, lipids well six microalgae species with...
Algal biomass or algae extracts can be used as food ingredients, meeting the needs of consumers for nutritious, sustainable, and healthy food. Microalgae macroalgae (seaweed) are rich in proteins, soluble fibers polysaccharides, lipids polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments, vitamins, minerals. However, one main challenges using systems is related to palatability terms sensory may contain several odor-active volatile chemical compounds, which undesirable certain algal-food product. This...
This study investigated the cultivation of marine alga Nannochloropsis gaditana in a medium based on desalination concentrate (DC) with an optimal concentration 75% DC, under three trophic conditions and four photoperiod schedules. N. produced peak biomass (1.25gL-1) mixotrophic culture condition 16L:08D. cells compensate to different light-dark regimes producing amounts protein (17.9-44.8%). The intracellular lipid content increased both autotrophic 16L:08D cycle (16.7%), 08L:16D (15.7%)....
In this study the feasibility of growing marine Nannochloropsis gaditana in desalination concentrate (DC) was explored and influence DC concentration on biomass growth, lipid productivities fatty acids composition assessed. The reuse medium with optimum successive algal cultivation cycles additional a carbon source to optimized were also evaluated. On varying concentration, maximum (0.96gL(-1)) content (12.6%) obtained for N. (75%). Over course medium, three performed, observing that...
Abstract There is a paucity of information about the chemical composition commercially important freshwater fish species (Nile tilapia, bighead carp, grass common carp and silver carp) cultivated in western region Santa Catarina, Brazil. This study determined moisture, ash, protein lipid contents fatty acid composition, as well nutritional quality lipids fillets these five species. Moisture was most prominent component (74.7%-81.7%), followed by (15.8%-18.8%) (0.4%-8.2%). Saturated palmitic...
In this study, we investigated the outdoor production of a microalga C. vulgaris cultured in two different media under autotrophic cultivation: Bold Basal Medium (BBM) as control and BBM supplemented with desalination concentrate (BBM + DC) using open raceway ponds (8 m2). Data were collected on growth, biomass productivity biochemical composition. The culture developed DC showed 6.8 g m-2 day-1, while for it was 8.5 day-1. Intracellular protein main algal component (~28.6%), followed by...
Desalination wastewater, which contains large amount of salt waste, might lead to severely environmental pollution. This study evaluated the effect dilution rate (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mn>0.1</mml:mn><mml:mo>≤</mml:mo><mml:mi>D</mml:mi><mml:mo>≤</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.3</mml:mn></mml:math>day −1 ) on microalgal biomass productivity, lipid content, and fatty acid profile under steady-state condition Chlorella vulgaris supplemented with concentrated...
DESALINATION.Chlorella sp. was used to assess algal lipid production with concentrated desalination.In order investigate the action of flocculating agent calcium chloride and pH, a Box-Behnken Design Central Composite (CCD) were carried out.Also, Soxhlet Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), without sonication extraction methods, examined.The optimal flocculation conditions pH 10.0 2.0 g/L concentration.The highest content Chlorella obtained using method.The most abundant fatty acid...
HIGHLIGHTS Microalgae science is a very active area of research in Brazil. Brazilian government has been funding projects algal biotechnology. institutes have gathered deep knowledge research. Researchers focused on bioproducts and biofuels from microalgae.
This study assessed the effect of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on Nannochloropsis gaditana cell rupture and subsequent lipid extraction. Micrograph images showed that surface original N. cells appeared smooth had no apparent holes, whereas after NTP a non-uniform apparently fractured with many pores large splits. Maximum recovery from (~19%) for NTP-assisted was observed at 10 min, similar to extraction min sonication (19.0%). The both pretreatments (average 19.0%) 2-fold higher than control...
