Microalgae as Sources of Carotenoids [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2011
Marine microalgae constitute a natural source of a variety of drugs for pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic applications—which encompass carotenoids, among others. A growing body of experimental evidence has confirmed that these compounds can play important roles in prevention (and even treatment) of human diseases and health conditions, e.g., cancer ...

Impact of Galactolipids and Phosphatidylcholine on the Stability of Microalgal Oil‐In‐Water Emulsions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgal oil is a sustainable source of omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, it is very sensitive to lipid oxidation, especially in emulsions. While the presence of phospholipids and galactolipids in microalgal oil can influence its oxidation, their impact in oil‐in‐water emulsion is not yet fully understood. This study investigates

Heterotrophic fermentation of a robust human defensin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii provides a stable and potent antibacterial

Microbial Cell Factories
Background The growing threat of antibiotic resistance underscores the urgent need for novel therapeutic agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), such as human defensins, are promising candidates due to their broad-spectrum activities, but their widespread

Performance Assessment and Lab‐Scale Economic Evaluation of Alkaline Extraction and Comparative Precipitation of Cyanobacterial Proteins

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Algal proteins from cyanobacteria serve as a natural source of biopolymers. The principal challenge manifests as nonoptimization of unit operations in downstream process accounting for higher costs. This study focuses on process assessment of unit‐operations for selecting suitable recovery strategies not only based on yield, but also considers

Evaluation and Optimization of COD Removal Performance for a Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant by Response Surface Methodology: The Case of Van Muradiye

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the performance of the Van Muradiye Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant was evaluated with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The effects of pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and suspended solids (SS) on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency were evaluated using samples collected from the plant's inlet and ...
