Chapter
Algae are the important primary producers in the aquatic ecosystem both in freshwater and in marine water and serve as food for tiny zooplanktons to giant whales. The single-celled microscopic algae commonly called microalgae play a vital role in maintaining the whole food chain, especially in the aquatic ecosystem. Due to the drastic increase in t...
Chapter
Edible algae, including seaweeds, are a source of functional food, dietary supplements, metabolites and bioactive compounds. Algal-based functional foods have potential health benefits, and their commercial value depends on their applications in the food and nutraceutical industries. This book covers several aspects of algal-based functional foods....
Patent
The present invention discloses a novel system for refining salt effluent by employing microalgae to remove the presence of harmful contaminants and hazardous toxic chemicals in salt effluent. The System of the present invention comprises of following steps, a) subjecting salt effluent to agitating container adapted to undergo agitation to form agi...
Article
Natural antioxidants are found in algae, are important biologically active compounds that involve in protecting the cells from oxidation thereby used in defense mechanism on ageing processes and various diseases. In this study, R-Phycoerythrin (R-PE) was extracted from Spyridia filamentosa and was assessed for their antioxidant properties. The anti...

... In comparison to these results, the FRAP value of R-PE from HDWE was almost 50% lower than its positive control, indicating that R-PE from HDWE must be purified before microencapsulation to increase its antioxidant activity. R-PE which weights lower than 3 kDa was found to have high antioxidant activity that can be used as essential pharmaceutical and biological importance (Brabakaran et al., 2020). ...
