Biorefinery approach for functional ingredients

Microalgae biotechnology has advanced rapidly as a sustainable source of functional foods, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and other high-value products. Diatoms are important microalgae and promising feedstocks for biotechnological applications due to their high biomass productivity, high-value metabolites, and environmental tolerance. A biorefinery is a sustainable approach to convert biomass into various valuable products. Microalgae biorefinery has become increasingly significant as an alternative bioprocess technology.
