• Life cycle assessment of the production of the red antioxidant carotenoid astaxanthin by microalgae: from lab to pilot scale (2014, background): “Enzymatic extraction, still under development, could be a very interesting alternative to be established in the future specifically if the final product is intended for human consumption (Mercer and Armenta, 2011).”
• Morphology, composition, production, processing and applications of Chlorella vulgaris: A review (2014, methodology): “vulgaris is generally conducted by the method of Bligh and Dyer (a mixture of chloroform and methanol), or by hexane, or petroleum ether [31,49,51,58,108–110].”
• Commercial astaxanthin production derived by green alga Haematococcus pluvialis: A microalgae process model and a techno-economic assessment all through production line (2016, background): “Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a modern and a widely accepted method to recover high value metabolites from microalgae that are destined for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sector [60,91].”
• Constraints to commercialization of algal fuels. (2013, background): “Existing and potential methods for extracting oils from algal biomass have been reviewed in the literature (Cooney et al., 2009; Mercer and Armenta, 2011; Halim et al., 2012).”
• Astaxanthin-Producing Green Microalga Haematococcus pluvialis: From Single Cell to High Value Commercial Products (2016, methodology): “The most appropriate cell disruption methods to enhance recovery of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis at a commercial scale involve mechanical processes and more specifically expeller pressing and bead milling (Lorenz and Cysewski, 2000; Olaizola, 2003; Mercer and Armenta, 2011; Razon and Tan, 2011).”
