Microalgae as a source of natural health and medicine ingredients
AI simplified
Abstract
Microalgae is a renewable bioresource with the potential to replace conventional fossil-based industrial production.
- Microalgae biomass contains carotenoids, vitamins, and other biomolecules used as food supplements.
- Production challenges include composition variations, energy-intensive harvesting methods, and lack of techno-economic analysis.
- Increasing the productivity of bioactive compounds from microalgae may address commercialization bottlenecks.
- Safety issues associated with the use of microalgae biomass are highlighted as key challenges.
- The review discusses the global market demand for microalgal bioproducts and their applications in health sectors.
