Bioactive compounds from micro-algae and its application in foods: A review
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The marine ecosystem is a vast source of diversified biota that includes more than half of the world’s biota including marine microorganisms; algae, invertebrates, and fish. Most of these organisms constitute complex biomolecules, allowing, them to thrive under extreme environmental conditions. These biomolecules are proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, phenolics, peptides, etc. perform various biological functions depending on the source. In addition to the basic functions , they also exhibit diverse functional properties such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antidiabetic and antihypertensive properties etc., which make them potential candidates for application in the food and pharmaceutical industry. The marine microalgae and cyanobacteria are a very rich source of these functional molecules with several biological applications related with health benefits and food applications. The viewpoint details the potential and bioactive compound profile of marine micro algae, extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from marine micro algae and its application in the food industry.

Technological hurdles including efficient cultivation, cost-effective harvesting, and preservation of nutritional integrity during processing remain major technical challenges for large-scale commercialisation of microalgae.
“Efficient cultivation, cost-effective harvesting, and the preservation of nutritional integrity during processing remain major technical challenges [104,121].”
From Microalgae Bioactives for Functional Food Innovation and Health Promotion (2025) · cites this paper as [104]
Section 2.1 says commercialization depends on efficient cultivation and harvesting. Section 4 says cultivation and extraction can be costly to scale and calls for methods that preserve bioactivity. The copy does not specifically identify harvesting costs or preservation of overall nutritional integrity during processing as challenges. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIsolation often involves complex extraction and purification processes that may be energy-intensive and costly and may alter the natural functionality of compounds if not carefully controlled.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
