Accelerated Solvent Extracts from Spirulina Platensis Microalga: Determination of their Antioxidant Activity and Analysis by Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography

Influence of extractive solvents on lipid and fatty acids content of edible freshwater algal and seaweed products, the green Microalga Chlorella kessleri and the Cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis.

Total lipid contents of green (Chlorella pyrenoidosa, C), red (Porphyra tenera, N; Palmaria palmata, D), and brown (Laminaria japonica, K; Eisenia bicyclis, A; Undaria pinnatifida, W, WI; Hizikia fusiformis, H) commercial edible algal and cyanobacterial (Spirulina platensis, S) products, and autotrophically cultivated samples of the green microalga Chlorella kessleri (CK) and the cyanobacterium...

Optimization of accelerated solvent extraction of antioxidants from Spirulina platensis microalga

Quantitation of chiral amino acids from microalgae by micellar electrokinetic chromatography and laser induced fluorescence detection

Running Title: Chiral analysis of microalgae amino acids by MEKC-LIF ABSTRACT In this work, a chiral and a non-chiral micellar electrokinetic chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection (MEKC-LIF) have been combined to identify and quantify a group of D-and L-amino acids (D/L-aa) in different microalgae samples. The combination of the non-chiral and chiral-MEKC-LIF methods made eas...

Environmental Assessment of Industrially Applied Drying Technologies for the Treatment of Spirulina Platensis

Spirulina platensis is a high protein content cyanobacterium with known therapeutic properties. Its main protein Phycocyanin is currently as a functional ingredient into various food products to enhance their nutritional qualities acting as food colorant, antioxidant and emulsifier, reducing the use of synthetic additives. The post-harvest treatment of the microalga affects its content of prote...

Neuroprotection by Spirulina platensis protean extract and phycocyanin against iron-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells.

We investigated the effect of Spirulina platensis protean extract and the biliprotein phycocyanin isolated from this microalga, on the activities of the antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT, GPx, and GR, lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and glutathione levels after the iron induced oxidative stress in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Iron is one of the most important agents that produce oxidative str...
