The exploration of new food sources and natural products is the result increase in world population as well need for a healthier diet; this context, microalgae are undoubtedly an interesting solution. With intent to enhance their value commercial applications, paper aims characterize that have already been recognized safe or authorized additives humans animals (Chlorella vulgaris, Arthrospira platensis, Haematococcus pluvialis, Dunaliella salina) those not yet marketed (Scenedesmus...
The increasing world population generates huge amounts of wastewater as well large energy demand. Additionally, fossil fuel’s combustion for production causes the emission greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants. Therefore, there is a strong need to find alternative green approaches treatment production. Microalgae biorefineries could represent an effective strategy mitigate above problems. are sustainable conventional processes, they potentially allow be treated at lower costs with...
Water crisis around the world leads to a growing interest in emerging contaminants (ECs) that can affect human health and environment. Research showed thousands of compounds from domestic consumers, such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), personal care products (PCPs), pharmaceuticals active (PhAcs), could be found wastewater concentration mostly ng L−1 μg L−1. However, generally, treatment plants (WWTPs) are not designed remove these ECs their discharge levels. Scientists looking for...
Solvent Extraction was tested to extract astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis in red phase (HPR), by investigating effects of solvents, extraction pressure and temperature. Astaxanthin isomers were identified quantified the extract. The performances acetone ethanol, Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) explored. Negligible effect found, while with increasing temperature recovery increased till a maximum value, beyond which thermal degradation seemed be greater than positive on extraction....
microalgae in the red phase can produce significant amounts of astaxanthin, lutein, and fatty acids (FAs), which are valuable antioxidants nutraceutics cosmetics. Extraction FAs from disrupted biomass
Astaxanthin and lutein, antioxidants used in nutraceutics cosmetics, can be extracted from several microalgal species. In this work, investigations on astaxanthin lutein extraction Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) the red phase were carried out by means of supercritical fluid (SFE) technique, which CO₂ was as extracting solvent with ethanol co-solvent. The experimental activity performed using a bench-scale reactor semi-batch configuration varying times (20, 40, 60, 80 min),...
Biomass from four different Nordic microalgal species, grown in BG-11 medium or synthetic wastewater (SWW), was explored as inexpensive carbohydrate-rich feedstock for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production via microbial fermentation. Thermochemical pre-treatment (acid treatment followed by autoclavation) with 2% hydrochloric acid 1% sulphuric (v/v) used to maximize sugar yield prior Pre-treatment resulted ∼5-fold higher compared the control. The sugar-rich hydrolysate carbon source...
