Abstract:Lipids extracted from microalgae for biofuel production have drawn the attention of researchers. Various methods for quantification of neutral lipids, such as solvent extraction or gravimetric, require a large volume of sample and are time-consuming. In this work, Nile Red was employed to evaluate the lipid content in microalgae Scenedesmus sp. through 2D fluorescence spectroscopy using chemometric modeling with a selection of wavelength pairs reducing the variable numbers. Cultivation of microalgae for 10 day… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
