TL;DR: The fundamental principle along with the advantages and disadvantages of various pretreatment techniques of microalgae were reviewed, and the conventional and recent advances in lipid extraction techniques from micro algae were comprehensively evaluated.

TL;DR: This review provides comprehensive information about the general characteristics of microalgae based on their taxonomic classification by providing a deep insight into the techniques applied for biomass pre-treatment, cell disruption, lipid extraction, and product fractionation.

TL;DR: The types and biosynthesis of microalgal lipids are reviewed, and genetic engineering and manipulation of cultivation conditions for enhancing lipid production are discussed, with focus on green techniques.

TL;DR: The successful scale-up operation of ultrasound-assisted LBF system verified the practicability of this integrated approach for an effective extraction of natural astaxanthin.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual strategy for bio-valorisation of food processing wastewater and food waste hydrolysate was proposed. But, the authors did not consider the use of microalgae in the food processing process.
