“…This is consistent with findings reported by other authors who have shown that the second phase of edema formation is sensitive to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, including indomethacin. 28 , 35 …”

“…26,27 Carrageenaninduced inflammation (also called carrageenan-induced paw edema), originally described by Winter, 22 is a valuable tool widely used to assess the potential anti- inflammatory activity of any novel substance. [27][28][29] It is noteworthy that inhibition of carrageenan-induced inflammation is highly predictive of anti-inflammatory drug activity in human inflammatory disorders. Moreover, the doses of anti-inflammatory agents in this model correlate well with effective doses in patients.…”

“…Spirulina is a source of other nutritionally beneficial organic molecules, such as gamma linoleic acid, phenolic acids, and chlorophyll [12,13]. Deng et al [14] and Bashandy et al [15] reported that spirulina has many health benefits, including antioxidant properties, hypolipidemic action, and immunostimulating or anti- inflammatory effects [16,17]. These properties have been verified using laboratory animals [18,19].…”

The present study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation of spirulina on laying hens’ performances: Eggs’ physical, chemical, and sensorial qualities. A total of 45 Lohman White hens, 44 weeks of age, were randomized into 3 groups of 15 birds. Hens were given 120 g/d of a basal diet containing 0% (control), 1.5%, and 2.5% of spirulina for 6 weeks. Albumen height and consequently Haugh unit were significantly affected by dietary supplementation of spirulina (p < 0.05) and by weeks on diet (p < 0.05). This supplement did not affect (p > 0.05) egg yolk weight or height. However, spirulina increased egg yolk redness (a*) from 1.33 (C) to 12.67 (D1) and 16.19 (D2) and reduced (p < 0.05) the yellowness (b*) parameter from 62.1(C) to 58.17 (D1) and 55.87 (D2). Egg yolks from hens fed spirulina were darker, more red, and less yellow in color than egg yolks from hens fed the control-diet (p < 0.0001). However, spirulina did not affect (p > 0.05) egg yolks’ total cholesterol concentration. In conclusion, a significant enhancement of egg yolk color was found in response to spirulina supplementation. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the impact of spirulina on egg yolks’ fatty acids profile.

“…Meanwhile, almost all kinds of vitamins have been found in Spirulina [2]. Several clinical experiments have proved that long‐term consumption of Spirulina not only strengthens the body and improves immunity but also controls diabetes, rheumatism, hypertension, and other chronic diseases [3–5]. According to a long‐term follow‐up investigation, Spirulina plays a good role in promoting growth and development in infants [6].…”

Spirulina acts as a good dietary nutritional supplement. However, few research studies have been conducted on its fermentation. Three groups of probiotic combinations, lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus strains, and their mixture, were used to investigate Spirulina fermentation. The results showed that lactic acid bacteria significantly increased the content of amino acids and the ratio of essential amino acids to total amino acids in the fermented Spirulina, compared with the unfermented Spirulina, and this trend was enhanced by the strains' mixture. However, compared to unfermented Spirulina, the amino acid levels were significantly decreased after fermentation with Bacillus strains and so was the total free amino acid and essential amino acid content. Fermentation significantly reduced the contents of the offensive components of Spirulina, with significant differences among the three mixed bacterial treatments. Moreover, Bacillus strain fermentation increased the contents of flavonoids and polyphenols compared to the unfermented Spirulina, and significantly enhanced 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐trinitrophenylhydrazine free‐radical scavenging ability and total antioxidant ability. On the contrary, treatments with lactic acid bacteria and the mixture of lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus strains endowed the fermented supernatants with good antibacterial ability. The results showed that probiotic fermentation has a good effect on Spirulina and can serve as a new procedure for developing new Spirulina‐containing food items.
