RESUMO DE TESE: ALGAS CULTIVATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

Microalgae are a group of microscopic and photosynthetic organisms present in both marine and freshwater environments. They are able to accumulate biomass by converting solar energy, CO2, and nutrients into biomass. Furthermore, microalgal biomass is a promising feedstock for generating sustainable...

Description
Summary:Microalgae are a group of microscopic and photosynthetic organisms present in both marine and freshwater environments. They are able to accumulate biomass by converting solar energy, CO2, and nutrients into biomass. Furthermore, microalgal biomass is a promising feedstock for generating sustainable products such as for food, feed, fine chemicals and biofuels. My thesis is composed of eight chapters and highlights the use of microalagae in environmental science, food science and biochemical engineering.
