Sustainable Cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis for the Production of Natural Astaxanthin
2021 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon), 2021Haematococcus pluvialis is a microalga with the ability to accumulate high quantities of astaxanthin. However, the large freshwater footprint and the requirement of external nutrient supply are issues in its commercial-scale cultivation. In the present study, synthetic dairy wastewater was employed as an alternative culture media for H. pluvialis under

The effects of natural astaxanthin‐modified silica on properties of natural rubber
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2018ABSTRACTNatural astaxanthin is a natural substance extracted from algae such as Haematococcus pluvialis. Its molecular structure contains conjugated double bonds as well as keto and hydroxyl groups, and therefore it has high activity. In this research, natural astaxanthin was used to modify the surface of the silica, and its effects on natural rubber ...
