The Extraction and Application of Functional Components in Algae (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Macro- and microalgae, with their different species and biochemical compositions, provide a rich source of functional components such as polysaccharides, polyphenols, pigments, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. These components exhibit a spectrum of bioactivities, ranging from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to neuroprotective and antitumor effects. Yet, given the vast diversity of these metabolites and their wide distribution in algae, there is a need for updated knowledge on their extraction, characterization, and study.In the Special Issue "The Extraction and Application of Functional Components in Algae", a collection of articles examines the complex processes involved in extracting functional components from algae, as well as their diverse applications.
