• Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014, background): “Current commercially viable exploitation of macroalgae and microalgal products is limited to products other than fuel, and the immediate future for the commercialisation of algae may be in combination with non-fuel products [8,141,179,180].”
• A techno-economic analysis of industrial production of marine microalgae as a source of EPA and DHA-rich raw material for aquafeed: Research challenges and possibilities (2015, background): “Microalgae are therefore also considered a promising feedstock for future sustainable supply of protein and lipids, for commodities and specialties for both food and non-food products (Draaisma et al., 2013; Milledge, 2011; Singh and Gu, 2010;Wijffels and Barbosa, 2010).”
• Commercial astaxanthin production derived by green alga Haematococcus pluvialis: A microalgae process model and a techno-economic assessment all through production line (2016, background): “Synthetic astaxanthin is produced frompetrochemical sources,which raises the issues of food safety (potential toxicity in thefinal product), pollution, and sustainability [52,61].”
• Removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products from wastewater using algae-based technologies: a review (2017, background): “Valuable products such as biofuel, proteins, carbohydrates, pigments, and vitamins can be produced by algae while treating wastewater (CuellarBermudez et al. 2016; da Silva et al. 2014; Milledge 2011; Úbeda et al. 2017).”
• Review of arsenic speciation, toxicity and metabolism in microalgae (2015, background): “Nowadays, commercial applications of microalgae have been implemented in many fields such as cosmetics, animal feed, and health products (Hosseini Tafreshi and Shariati 2009; Milledge 2011; Spolaore et al. 2006).”
• Temperature effect on microalgae: a crucial factor for outdoor production (2013, background): “Unicellular photosynthetic organisms (microalgae and cyanobacteria) are able to convert atmospheric carbon to valuable organic molecules which have growing applications in the energy sector (Benemann and Oswald 1996; Chisti 2007; Wijffels and Barbosa 2010) as well as high potential in the pharmaceut”
• Microalgae metabolites: A rich source for food and medicine (2017, background): “Microalgae have been used as food by humans for thousands of years (Milledge, 2011).”
• High-value products from macroalgae: the potential uses of the invasive brown seaweed, Sargassum muticum (2016, background): “Dainippon Ink and Chemicals produces a blue food colourant from the microalga, Spirulina, called Lina Blue, that is used in chewing gum, ice slush, sweets, soft drinks, dairy products and wasabi (Milledge 2011).”
