Advancements and challenges in microalgal protein production: A sustainable alternative to conventional protein sources

Microbial Cell Factories, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 24(1)

Опубликована: Март 10, 2025

Abstract The increasing global demand for sustainable protein sources necessitates the exploration of alternative solutions beyond traditional livestock and crop-based proteins. Microalgae present a promising due to their high content, rapid biomass accumulation, minimal land water requirements. Furthermore, ability thrive on non-arable in wastewater systems enhances sustainability resource efficiency. Despite these advantages, scalability economical feasibility remain major challenges microalgal production. This review explores recent advancements cultivation extraction technologies, including pulsed electric field, ultrasound-assisted extraction, enzyme-assisted microwave-assisted extraction. These innovative techniques have significantly improved efficiency, purity, sustainability, while addressing cell wall disruption recovery challenges. Additionally, examines digestibility bioavailability, particularly context human nutrition aquafeed applications. A critical analysis life cycle assessment studies highlights environmental footprint production compared conventional sources. Although requires significant energy inputs, biorefinery approaches, carbon dioxide sequestration, industrial integration can help mitigate limitations. Finally, this outlines key future research directions, emphasizing need cost reduction strategies, genetic engineering enhanced yields, industrial-scale process optimization. By integrating with models, proteins hold immense potential as sustainable, high-quality source food, feed, nutraceutical

Agro-Industrial Wastewaters for Algal Biomass Production, Bio-Based Products, and Biofuels in a Circular Bioeconomy

Fermentation, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 8(12), С. 728 - 728

Опубликована: Дек. 12, 2022

Recycling bioresources is the only way to sustainably meet a growing world population’s food and energy needs. One of ways do so by using agro-industry wastewater cultivate microalgae. While industrial production microalgae requires large volumes water, existing processes generate with eutrophicating nutrients organic carbon that must be removed before recycling water back into environment. Coupling these two can benefit flourishing microalgal industry, which agro-industry, could gain extra revenue converting waste stream bioproduct. Microalgal biomass used produce energy, nutritional biomass, specialty products. However, there are challenges establishing stable circular processes, from selection adaptation pretreating reclaiming residues. This review discusses potential residues for production, particular interest in composition use important primary (raw) secondary (digestate) effluents generated volumes: sugarcane vinasse, palm oil mill effluent, cassava processing waster, abattoir wastewater, dairy aquaculture wastewater. It also overviews recent examples aspects process integration possible products, avoiding xenobiotics heavy metal recycling. As virtually all agro-industries have boilers emitting CO2 use, many industries anaerobic digestion reclaim cultivation, gaseous discussed text.
