Microalgae are considered as a rich source of bioactive compounds with different biological activities. With the development of society, human demand for sustainable biomass has increased, requiring the production of critical bioactive components with various potentials. Microalgae are highly sought after for their unique advantages. Here at Lifeasible, we provide professional solutions for isolating and identifying bioactive compounds in microalgae.
Microalgae comprise carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, minerals, and many other compounds. To use these compounds for different applications, algal biomass requires effective techniques to extract, recover and purify to release the bioactive compounds stored in the cells, including carotenoids, β-carotene, lycopene, astaxanthin, phycobiliproteins, antioxidants, polysaccharides, glycerol, lectins, glycoproteins, micosporine like amino acids and antifreeze proteins. These microalgae bioactive compounds have promising applications in pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics, biofuels, and other fields. Considering the enormous biodiversity of microalgal species, it is of great interest to rationally utilize methods for rapid screening, extraction, analysis, and isolation and purification of bioactive compounds from different microalgal sources.
