Optimization of sub-critical water extraction (SWE) of lipid and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from Nannochloropsis gaditana

Microalgae are a promising source of omega-3. The purpose of this study was to extract lipid with a relatively high content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) from Nannochloropsis gaditana using subcritical water extraction (SWE). The effects of different temperatures (156.1-273.9°C), extraction times (...
