Food Organisms for Abalones-Microalgae.

Microalgae, old sustainable food and fashion nutraceuticals

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 address...

Micro-organisms Important in Food Microbiology

AC - Report - Aquatic organisms as human food

Food security is concerned with the food supply. Nutrition status, however, depends not only on suitable food but also on good basic health services and, particularly for children and the elderly, adequate care. Malnutrition generally results not from a lack of food in the community (limited availability) but from the skewed distribution of the food that is available. The skew results mainly be...

evaluation of carotenoids and chlorophyll as natural resources for food in spirulina microalgae

microalgae can produce various natural products such as pigments, enzymes, unique fatty acids and vitamins that benefit humans. the objective of the study was evaluation of carotenoids (beta carotene, zeathanthin, lutein, lycopene and astaxanthin) and chlorophyll a in spirulina microalgae. spirulina powder has been produced by jordan’s method in iran. carotenoids were extracted from spirulina p...

Aquaculture of "non-food organisms" for natural substance production.

Marine invertebrates are already sources of commercially important secondary metabolites and may become even more so as knowledge on marine natural products and chemical ecology develops. Among the producers of these compounds predominantly sponges, bryozoa and molluscs have received the attention of academic and industrial research and development. For all these invertebrate groups culture tec...
