“…For the dehydration of H. pluvialis biomass, spray drying (Li et al, 2011 ; Panis, 2015 ), freeze drying, lyophilization, and cryodesiccation (Milledge, 2013 ) methods have been utilized. There are several methods of astaxanthin extraction utilizing solvents, acids, edible oils, enzymes, pressurized liquids (Jaime et al, 2010 ; Zou et al, 2013 ; Dong et al, 2014 ), supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) (Wang et al, 2012 ; Reyes et al, 2014 ), and liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) (Boonnoun et al, 2014 ). Although many studies have explored various methods of extraction and downstream processing of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis biomass, more comprehensive investigation is required to take an advantage of the biological potential of this microalga and its highly valuable product.…”

Many species of microalgae have been used as source of nutrient rich food, feed, and health promoting compounds. Among the commercially important microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest source of natural astaxanthin which is considered as “super anti-oxidant.” Natural astaxanthin produced by H. pluvialis has significantly greater antioxidant capacity than the synthetic one. Astaxanthin has important applications in the nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food, and aquaculture industries. It is now evident that, astaxanthin can significantly reduce free radicals and oxidative stress and help human body maintain a healthy state. With extraordinary potency and increase in demand, astaxanthin is one of the high-value microalgal products of the future.This comprehensive review summarizes the most important aspects of the biology, biochemical composition, biosynthesis, and astaxanthin accumulation in the cells of H. pluvialis and its wide range of applications for humans and animals. In this paper, important and recent developments ranging from cultivation, harvest and postharvest bio-processing technologies to metabolic control and genetic engineering are reviewed in detail, focusing on biomass and astaxanthin production from this biotechnologically important microalga. Simultaneously, critical bottlenecks and major challenges in commercial scale production; current and prospective global market of H. pluvialis derived astaxanthin are also presented in a critical manner. A new biorefinery concept for H. pluvialis has been also suggested to guide toward economically sustainable approach for microalgae cultivation and processing. This report could serve as a useful guide to present current status of knowledge in the field and highlight key areas for future development of H. pluvialis astaxanthin technology and its large scale commercial implementation.

“…Modification of pressure and temperature, carbon dioxide act like liquid solvent. Efficient solvent extraction of astaxanthin from wet H. pluvialis biomass was achieved with liquefied dimethyl ether (Boonnoun et al, 2014) and also cell germination process in conjunction with ionic liquids treatment (Praveenkumar et al, 2015). There is a number of other areas of improvement that will contribute to the expansion of Haematococcus production capacity, lowering the production cost, extraction of astaxantnin and increasing market penetration at low end applications.…”

Aim:Methodology: Results:Interpretation: Key words:The growth of H. pluvialis by various extraction methods and was studied its growth, photosynthetic pigments and antioxidative ability under visible light and varying pH was compared.This study compared the growth of H. pluvialis under four different LED lights and three pH values, and demonstrated the astaxanthin content and antioxidant effects of them. The supercritical fluid chromatography and solvent extraction were conducted to compare the astaxanthin contents.The highest growth rate was observed under green LED light at all pH condition (6, 8, 10). Under 2 green LED, the correlation (R ) between cell counts and chlorophyll a, b and total carotenoid was 0.9581, 0.7652 and 0.9095, respectively. The solvent extraction of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis was 137% higher than that of solid extract injection method using Super Fluid Chromatography.This study will contribute in establishing the culture conditions to enhance the biomass and astaxanthin from H. pluvialis.

“…Other studies have found that the total energy cost of processing wet microalgae to biodiesel without drying is less than half the energy required than when a drying step is included . A number of extraction methods that utilize microalgal slurries, and thus do not require complete drying of the microalgal biomass, have been developed in recent years . Methods and challenges associated with dewatering and drying microalgae have been reviewed elsewhere …”

Algal biomass is an attractive feedstock for sustainable biofuel production because of its high growth rate and the fact that it does not compete with food crops. This review examines progress made in the processing and extraction of microalgal lipids as feedstocks for algae‐derived biofuels. The discussion focuses on lipid extraction processes but also mentions drying, cell disruption, and transesterification processes because of their potential effect on the extraction process, and because of the possibility of performing them simultaneously with extraction. Some of the common themes discussed include the benefits of utilizing wet microalgal biomass, combining process steps (process intensification), and the importance of considering the entire life cycle when assessing the ‘greenness’ of a technology. Lipid extraction technologies will need to be improved for microalgal biofuels to compete effectively with fossil fuels, particularly through the development of energy‐efficient extraction methods and the adaptation of these methods for large‐scale production. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
