Macroalgae, commonly known as seaweed, have been used for centuries as a source of food, animal feed, and fertilizer. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential of macroalgae as a sustainable source of biomass for producing biofuels,…
As the world grapples with the increasing effects of climate change, there is a pressing need for novel technologies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. One such approach gaining attention is carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) – the process of capturing…
Algae, a diverse group of aquatic organisms, have long been recognized for their nutritional benefits. These photosynthetic creatures range from simple, microscopic forms like cyanobacteria to large, multicellular forms such as seaweeds. Algae are rich in essential nutrients, including high-quality…
The importance of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for overall health has been well-established in recent years. These essential nutrients are known to provide numerous health benefits, including supporting cognitive function, reducing inflammation, and promoting cardiovascular health. While fish and…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the health benefits of incorporating algae into our diets. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that grow in aquatic environments and can be classified into two main groups: macroalgae (seaweeds) and microalgae…
The world of nutrition has steadily been embracing the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, predominantly found in fish and seafood. However, a lesser-known but incredibly rich source of these beneficial fatty acids is microalgae. A particular focus is on…
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential micronutrient required for the proper functioning of the nervous system, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation. It is found naturally in animal products such as meat, dairy, and eggs. However,…
Microalgae are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms that can be found in both freshwater and marine environments. They have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various sectors, such as biofuels, nutraceuticals, and wastewater treatment. However, one…
In recent years, microalgae have gained considerable attention due to their potential applications in diverse areas including biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and food and feed additives. One of the key factors that determine microalgae productivity is photosynthetic efficiency. Enhancing photosynthetic efficiency can…
The nutritional benefits of algae and its potential in the food industry have sparked increasing interest among researchers, nutritionists, and food manufacturers. Algae, particularly microalgae, are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, making them an excellent source…
