Abstract
Chlorella and Spirulina are the most used microalgae mainly as powder, tablets, or capsules. However, the recent change in lifestyle of modern society encouraged the emergence of liquid food supplements. The current work evaluated the efficiency of several hydrolysis methods (ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis UAH, acid hydrolysis AH, autoclave-assisted hydrolysis AAH, and enzymatic hydrolysis EH) in order to develop liquid dietary supplements from Chlorella and Spirulina biomasses. Results showed that, EH gave the highest proteins content (78% and 31% for Spirulina and Chlorella, respectively) and also increased pigments content (4.5 mg/mL of phycocyanin and 12 µg/mL of carotenoids). Hydrolysates obtained with EH showed the highest scavenging activity (95-91%), allowing us, with the other above features, to propose this method as convenient for liquid food supplements development. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the choice of hydrolysis method depended on the vocation of the product to be prepared.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 389:129808. [PMID: 37806362 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Lutein, a bioactive xanthophyll, has recently attracted significant attention for numerous health benefits, e.g., protection of eye health, macular degeneration, and acute and chronic syndromes etc. Microalgae have emerged as the best platform for high-value lutein production with high productivity, lutein content, and scale-up potential. Algal lutein possesses numerous bioactivities, hence widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, aquaculture, cosmetics, etc. This review highlights advances in upstream lutein production enhancement and feasible downstream extraction and cell disruption techniques for a large-scale lutein biorefinery. Besides bioprocess-related advances, possible solutions for existing production challenges in microalgae-based lutein biorefinery, market potential, and emerging commercial scopes of lutein and its potential health applications are also discussed. The key enzymes involved in the lutein biosynthesizing Methyl-Erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway have been briefly described. This review provides a comprehensive updates on lutein research advancements covering scalable upstream and downstream production strategies and potential applications for researchers and industrialists.

Abstract
The global demand for food and healthcare products based on natural compounds means that the industrial and scientific sectors are on a continuous search for natural colored compounds that can contribute to the replacement of synthetic colors. Natural pigments are a heterogeneous group of chemical molecules, widely distributed in nature. Recently, the interest in marine organisms has increased as they represent the most varied environment in the world and provide a wide range of colored compounds with bioactive properties and biotechnological applications in areas such as the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries. The use of marine-derived pigments has increased during the last two decades because they are environmentally safe and healthy compounds. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current knowledge of sources, applications, and sustainability of the most important marine pigments. In addition, alternatives to protect these compounds from environmental conditions and their applications in the industrial sector are reviewed.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:62514-62536. [PMID: 35404031 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-19725-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The simultaneous biosorption of chromium (VI), copper (II), iron (II), and nickel (II) was investigated by alkaline-modified Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina platensis in binary systems. The alkaline modified biosorbents were CV-KCl, SP-KCl, CV-Na2CO3, and SP-Na2CO3. The maximum removal efficiency recorded in this study was 99.7% with a biosorbent dosage of 0.3 g within a pH range of 2 to 6. The highest biosorption capacities obtained were 14.1, 13.5, 21.6, and 15.8 mg/g for Cr (VI), Cu (II), Fe (II), and Ni (II), respectively. The pseudo-second-order best described the biosorption rate, while the Langmuir isotherm model best described the biosorption equilibrium interaction. The values for Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) were in the range of 0.5 to 6.5 kJ/mol (Cr-Fe), 1.3 to 8.4 kJ/mol (Cr-Ni), and 3.9 to 11.3 kJ/mol (Cr-Cu) binary systems. This showed that the biosorption processes were characterized by physisorption reactions. The Temkin constant B values were in the range of 0.339 to 1.485 kcal/mol and the biosorption processes were largely exothermic reactions. The values for the Freundlich constant KF were between 1.4 and 10.4 (L/g), which indicated favourable biosorption. The Temkin isotherm model confirmed a strong binding affinity for Fe (II) and Ni (II). The results suggest that potassium chloride and sodium carbonate modification are very suitable for green algae and cyanobacteria for the efficient removal of heavy metals.
