Algal Proteins: Extraction, Application, and Challenges Concerning Production (2017, positive): “An estimated 30% of global algal production is estimated to be used for animal feed, with 50% of Spirulina biomass in particular used as feed supplement due to its excellent nutritional proﬁle [124,138].”
Functional Composition, Nutritional Properties, and Biological Activities of MoroccanSpirulinaMicroalga (2019, background): “Besides, the Spirulina studied showed a carbohydrate content typically below average for many microalgae, overall accounting for 10 to 27% dw [34, 35].”
Cyanobacteria: A Precious Bio-resource in Agriculture, Ecosystem, and Environmental Sustainability (2016, positive): “They can act as the nutritional supplement or represent a source of natural food colorants (Nelis and DeLeenheer, 1991; Borowitzka, 1999; Muller-Feuga, 2000; Branen et al., 2002; Becker, 2004; Rangel-Yagui et al., 2004; Bhaskar et al., 2005; Soletto et al., 2005).”
Biochemical characterization of microalgal biomass from freshwater species isolated in Alberta, Canada for animal feed applications (2015, background): “Dependingon species/strain, environmental conditions and harvesting/processing methods, whole algal biomass and residual ‘cake’ after oil extraction may be highly attractive sources of essential dietary amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and other health-promoting nutr”
Commercial applications of microalgae. (2006, background): “General composition of different human food sources and algae (% of dry matter) (3)”
Microalgae in aquafeeds for a sustainable aquaculture industry (2018, background): “…quality and positive effect on the rate of growth of aquatic species due to increased triglyceride and protein deposition in muscle, improved resistance to disease, decreased nitrogen output into the environment, omega-3 fatty acid content, physiological activity, and carcass quality (Becker 2004).”
Isolation and Characterization of Green Microalgae for Carbon Sequestration, Waste Water Treatment and Bio-fuel Production (2013, background): “are known to used in the treatment of wastewater, production of biodiesel, production of electricity using microbial fuel cells, animal food supplements and providing valuable extracts for chemical products (Becker, [2], Chisti [6]).”
Novel Insights into the Biotechnological Production of Haematococcus pluvialis-Derived Astaxanthin: Advances and Key Challenges to Allow Its Industrial Use as Novel Food Ingredient (2020, background): “, able to synthesize it, are the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis and the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma (or Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous) [22].”
Algal transgenics and biotechnology (2007, background): “The microalgal market is dominated by Chlorella and Spirulina (Becker 2004; Pulz and Gross 2004), mainly because of their high protein content, nutritive value, and not least, because they are easy to grow.”
