- Marine Bioactives as Functional Food Ingredients: Potential to Reduce the Incidence of Chronic Diseases (2011, background): “-carotene is one of the leading food colorants in the world and has been applied to a range of food and beverage products to improve their appearance to consumers [87].”
- Photoacclimation processes in phytoplankton: mechanisms, consequences, and applications (2009, background): “The unicellular red alga Porphyridium cruentum has been the focus of much applied research due to its profuse production of commercially valuable phycocolloids (Dufosse et al. 2005).”
- Antiviral compounds obtained from microalgae commonly used as carotenoid sources (2012, background): “At present, these two microalgae are cultivated commercially to produce β-carotene and asthaxanthin, since these natural carotenoids are potent antioxidants and strong colouring agents (Dufossé et al. 2005).”
- Food and feed products from micro-algae: Market opportunities and challenges for the EU (2015, background): “Some publications mainly review the high-value molecules of interest for food and feed that can be extracted from micro-algae (Dufossé et al., 2005; Chacón-Lee and González-Mariño, 2010; Draaisma et al., 2013), but without analyzing the market opportunities of these products.”
- Evaluation of antioxidant properties and total phenolic contents of some strains of microalgae (2010, background): “A large number of studies on the microalgal bioactive compounds have oriented to the anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, antihelmintic, cytotoxic, immunological, and enzyme inhibition properties (Dufosse et al. 2005; De la Noue and De Pauw 1988; Singh et al. 2005).”
