Author(s): Asadullah Gujar*, Hungli cui, Chunli ji, Saleem Kubar and Runzhi Li
Micro-algae are an important nutrient source. The most essential products available in algae dried biomass with high nutrients contented and high valued compounds such as fatty acids, pigments and polysaccharides. This review analyses the valuables products of micro-algae such as Porphyridium species, biomass cultured to produce polysaccharides, pigments and lipids. Behind these things of microalgae, increasingly played crucial role in pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals and functional food. Additionally, P.cruentum biomass may contents the carbohydrates of up to 57% has been reported. Accordingly, the collective quantity of carbohydrates and exopolysaccharides of red micro-algae could potentially provide the source of bio-fuel and pharmaceuticals. Thus, red algae produce high nutritional food sources which are costeffective and can be easily and rapidly yields for human c.. View More»
