The microalgae farming

Microalgae farming is obtaining an increasing prominence. World production is estimated at 5,000 tons of dry microalgae. Its economics arise from its composition, rich in protein and highly digestible carbohydrates, with a fat fraction that can reach 70% of its dry weight. This makes them particularly interesting from a nutritional standpoint. Other valuable components present in microalgae are vitamins (A, B, C, E), provitamins and pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoids (astaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein) and phycobiliproteins, all of great commercial interest.
