Comparison of microalgal biomass profiles as novel functional ingredient for food products
TL;DR: Screening the chemical composition and thermogravimetry properties of five microalgae species with potential application in the food industry found that the carotenogenic C. vulgaris and H. pluvialis showed a higherCarotenoid content, higher fat, low protein and better resistance to thermal treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A biorefinery from Nannochloropsis sp. microalga – Extraction of oils and pigments. Production of biohydrogen from the leftover biomass

TL;DR: The microalgal biomass, which has a high lipid and pigment content (mainly carotenoids), was submitted to supercritical CO2 extraction and was effectively used as feedstock to produce biohydrogen through dark fermentation by Enterobacter aerogenes resulting in a hydrogen production yield of 60.6 mL/g dry biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporation of Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina maxima biomass in pasta products. Part 1: Preparation and evaluation.

TL;DR: Microalgae pastas presented very appellative colours, such as orange and green, similar to pastas produced with vegetables, with nutritional advantages, showing energetic values similar to commercial pastas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining urban wastewater treatment with biohydrogen production – An integrated microalgae-based approach
Ana Paula Batista,Lucas Ambrosano,Sofia Graça,Catarina Sousa,Paula Alexandra Marques,Belina Ribeiro,Élberis Pereira Botrel,Pedro Castro Neto,Luísa Gouveia +8 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present work was the simultaneous treatment of urban wastewater using microalgae and the energetic valorization of the obtained biomass, which converted into biohydrogen (bioH2), a clean energy carrier, through dark fermentation by a strain of the bacteria Enterobacter aerogenes.
