The surging popularity of plant-based diets and the growing emphasis on clean-label products have intensified interest in Spirulina within food industry. As more people adopt vegetarian, vegan, or flexitarian lifestyles, demand for protein sources has escalated. Spirulina’s high content complete amino acid profile make it an ideal candidate to meet this demand. However, incorporating into is not without its challenges. Its strong, earthy, fishy taste can be off-putting consumers difficult mask formulations. Furthermore, isolating bioactive compounds while preserving their integrity complex, especially considering heat sensitivity many these components. Traditional extraction methods often employ temperatures, which degrade valuable compounds. Consequently, there a preference non-thermal techniques. This paper provides overview recent advancements cultivation, extraction, application products.

This study explores the mixotrophic cultivation of Limnospira platensis using dairy byproducts, specifically scotta whey (SW), buttermilk wastewater (BMW), and (DWW), to promote biomass production enhance composition bioactive compounds. By assessing various concentrations (1%, 2%, 4% v v−1) these byproducts in a modified growth medium, this aims evaluate their effect on L. growth, phycocyanin (C-PC) content, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles. The results show that optimal was achieved with 2% wastewater, reaching maximum 3.30 g L−1 3.19 L−1, respectively. Mixotrophic led increased C-PC yields, especially treatments, highlighting potential for producing valuable pigments. Additionally, FAME profiles indicated minimal changes compared control, oleic γ-linolenic acids being dominant conditions. These findings support viability utilizing sustainable cultivation, contributing circular bioeconomy while compounds nutritional commercial interest.

Marine phytoplankton is an emerging source of immunomodulatory bioactive lipids (BLs). Under physiological growth conditions and upon stress challenges, several eukaryotic microalgal species accumulate lipid metabolites that resemble the precursors animal mediators inflammation: eicosanoids prostaglandins. Therefore, marine could serve as a biotechnological platform to produce functional BLs with therapeutic applications in management chronic inflammatory diseases other clinical conditions. However, be commercially competitive, lipidic precursor yields should enhanced. Beside tailoring cultivation native producers, genetic engineering feasible strategy accrue production introduce heterologous biosynthetic pathways hosts. Here, we present state-of-the-art research on from discuss synthetic biology approaches boost their light-driven biosynthesis.

Abstract Chlorella vulgaris , a freshwater microalga, is gaining attention for its potential as nutritious food source and dietary supplement. This review aims to provide comprehensive discussion on C. evaluating viability substitute in the industry by exploring nutritional value application of industry. Rich protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, offers substantial benefits, positioning it valuable substitute. Its applications include incorporation into smoothies, snacks, supplements, enhancing profile various products. The health benefits encompass antioxidant activity, immune system support, detoxification, contributing overall well‐being. Despite these advantages, commercialization faces significant challenges. These variability antibacterial activity due strain growth conditions, high production costs, contamination risks, sensory issues such unpleasant taste smell. Additionally, can accumulate heavy metals from environment, necessitating stringent quality control measures. Future prospects involve improving strains through genetic manipulation enhance nutrient content, developing cost‐effective culture systems, advanced processing techniques like pulsed electric fields better digestibility. Addressing flavor‐masking strategies employing environmental management practices will further support Chlorella's integration Although shows great ingredient, overcoming existing challenges optimizing methods would be crucial successful adoption widespread use.

Using renewable biomass in agriculture, particularly microalgae as a biostimulant, offers economic and environmental sustainability benefits by reducing costs, improving nutrient cycling, enhancing water use efficiency. Microalgae contain bioactive compounds that boost crop tolerance to stresses, including salinity. Saline soils, characterized elevated sodium chloride (NaCl) levels, negatively impact many crops, resulting low productivity high remediation costs. Therefore, this study evaluates the biostimulant properties of microalgae-based commercial preparation (MR) on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) plants grown hydroponically exposed saline stress. The extract was chemically through elemental analysis, lipid composition (gas chromatography with flame ionization detector—GC-FID), determination functional groups (Fourier Transformed Infrared—FT-IR), structure (1H,13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance—NMR), their hormone-like activity also assessed. Lettuce were treated or without blend, combination 0, 50 mM, 100 mM NaCl. contents nutrients, soluble proteins, chlorophylls, phenols, well peroxidation, antioxidants root traits plants, estimated. applied salt-stressed resulted significant increase biomass, protein, chlorophyll contents.
