An innovative role of bioactive compounds from microalgae

Effects of Dietary Microalgae Supplementation on Mammals’ Production and Health

“…Bioactive compounds in microalgae have been shown to provide an innovative role to enhance antimicrobial, antiviral and antiparasitic activities (Chen et al, 2016;Carbone et al, 2021;Yi et al, 2021;Sonkamble and Wagh, 2022). Ghania et al (2019) confirmed the antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities of three Algerian algae from the northwest coast.…”

“…The phytochemical compounds (2-Pentadecanone 6, Apratoxin-A, Carotenoids) obtained from the different sources of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris, Lyngbya majuscule, Chlorella ellipsoidea) and its action mechanism as anticancer has been reported in several studies (Luesch et al, 2001;Cragg and Newman, 2005;Kwang et al, 2008;Zeng et al, 2011). Anti-tumor capacity of the microalgae bio-products including carotenoids, PUFAs, polysaccharides, peptides has been confirmed in several studies (Abd El-Hack et al, 2019;Yi et al, 2021;Sonkamble and Wagh, 2022).…”

Chromatographic Techniques to Separate and Identify Bioactive Compounds in Microalgae

“…This diversity can be partly explained due to the different mechanism of adaptation that microalgae have been through, as they can be found in very extreme conditions (soils, ice, lakes, rivers, hot springs, and oceans, anywhere sunlight and water co-occur). The polyphenolic profile of Euglena cantabrica, for example, is comprised of gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, and epicatechin (Jerez-Martel et al, 2017;Anwer et al, 2022;Sonkamble and Wagh, 2022). The main function of polyphenols in microalgae is to protect the cells from biotic and abiotic stresses and act as UV filters (Panche et al, 2016).…”
