TLDR
The potential health benefits and nutrition provided by microalgae whose benefits are contributing to expand their market are reviewed and several key challenges are pointed out.Abstract:
Microalgae have been used for centuries to provide nourishment to humans and animals, only very recently they have become much more widely cultured and harvested at large industrial scale. This paper reviews the potential health benefits and nutrition provided by microalgae whose benefits are contributing to expand their market. We also point out several key challenges that remain to be addressed in this field.read more
