Downstream processing of microalgae for pigments, protein and carbohydrate in industrial application: A review
Abstract
Abstract Numbers of high valued and low volume products from microalgae are already in the market and more number of products is yet to be launched. Downstream processing is the key steps to maintain the quality of the products. Therefore, this review is focused on the downstream processing of the microalgae and cyanobacterial cells for commercial production of biomolecules such as pigments (chlorophyll and carotenoid), protein, carbohydrate (agar, carageenan, alginate, fucoidan) and biopolymers. It also covers the most recent preferred downstream processes for the industries for accomplishing the desired quality of the product and recent important filed patents on downstream processing of microalgae. Further, this article highlights the recent investments made by the industries towards commercial production of microalgal-based biofuels and bio-products worldwide.

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.
