Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a green microalgae used as model organism associated with biotechnological applications, yet its nutritional value has not been assessed. This study investigates the capacity of C. an additional for this species beyond known potential in biofuels and bio-products production. The composition key nutrients was compared Chlorella Spirulina, widely regarded superfood. results revealed that protein content (46.9%) comparable (45.3) Spirulina (50.4%) on dry weight...
Although natural sesame oil has been shown to facilitate the lymphatic delivery and oral bioavailability of highly lipophilic drug cannabidiol (CBD), considerable variability remains an unresolved challenge. Vegetable oils differ substantially in composition, which could lead differences promotion intestinal transport drugs. Therefore, composition sesame, sunflower, peanut, soybean, olive coconut their corresponding role as vehicles promoting CBD targeting were investigated this study. The...
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) has a potential as novel source for food/feed because it contains several constituents including bioactive compounds. However, its multilayer cell wall (hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein [HRPGs]) may restrict the bioaccessibility of nutrients. Therefore, using disruption techniques such hydrodynamic cavitation (HDC) can be useful assessing single This work aims to evaluate impact HDC on carotenoids (β-carotene and lutein) from C. reinhardtii. Our...
Increasing global aquaculture production, is putting pressure on fishmeal and fish oil supply. There therefore a growing search for more sustainable sources of proteins polyunsaturated fatty acids as feed ingredients.
Currently, there is an urgent need for the growing aquaculture sector to rely on sustainable ingredients which can achieve optimal growth while maintaining fish’s nutritional value (especially omega-3 fatty acid content) human consumption. Here, C. reinhardtii biomass was substituted fishmeal in zebrafish (Danio rerio) diets wild-type and mutant (Casper) strains. Four isonitrogenous (46% cp), isocaloric (19–21 MJ/kg DW) were prepared with replacing 10% (C10), 20% (C20), 50% (C50) of...
The lipophilic nutrients in a chloroplast-rich fraction derived from pea vine postharvest field-residue are released an vitro digestion model; the extent of their release (bioaccessibility) is affected by heat-treatment biomass or juice.
