Valuable Source for Prevention of Chronic Disease
Carotenoids from Marine Microalgae: A Valuable Natural Source for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases
Conclusion - Several epidemiologic studies have shown that diets rich in antioxidants reduce the risk of developing several chronic inflammatory diseases, such as Parkinson, diabetes, cancer and CVD. Carotenoids represent the most abundant lipid-soluble phytochemicals, and in vitro and in vivo studies have suggested that they have a large range of biological properties, such as, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, modulation of gene expression and many others.
Microalgae are a potential novel source of bioactive molecules, including a wide range of different carotenoids. Several carotenoids from marine microalgae have been associated with beneficial health effects. These natural compounds have being used as nutraceuticals and food supplements, although the biomass itself may also be incorporated in novel functional food products. By consuming naturally produced carotenoids from microalgae and the biomass in the diets, along with a healthy way of living, with moderate exercise and a decrease of exposure to oxidative agents, humans’ health may improve. This would increase the endogenous antioxidative protection and even prevent some harmful mechanisms and repair damages in the cell and the whole organism. Several pathways involved in the bioactivity of carotenoids have already been disclosed. However, research is still required on the dose-response relations of carotenoids, their metabolites and their effect on the human metabolism.

Evaluation of Microalgae as Health Supplements
Nutritional Evaluation of Australian Microalgae as Potential Human Health Supplements
Conclusion - Nannochloropsis sp., Dunaliella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and the CPC exhibited exemplary biochemical profiles rich in high-quality protein, nutritious polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as ALA, ARA, and EPA), and antioxidant pigments. These properties, in addition to their comparability to commercially produced Chlorella and Spirulina products in basic biochemical composition, indicate that these microalgae have great potential for use in human health in a multi-nutrient capacity. Nannochloropsis sp. is believed to be especially promising as a nutritional supplement due to the high EPA and astaxanthin levels attained in this study. Productivity, growth media requirements, environmental tolerances, and other culturing data are already established for many of these microalgae, thus progress could proceed to further clinical trialling of whole-cell or cracked-cell biomass and techno-economic assessment.

Vitamin Content of Four Marine Microalgae
Vitamin content of four marine microalgae. Potential use as source of vitamins in nutrition
Summary - Certain marine microalgae contain water-and lipid-soluble vitamins and can be used as food supplements or food ingredients. A number of vitamins are present in higher concentrations in the microalgae than in conventional foods traditionally considered rich in them. Ingestion of relatively small quantities of microalgae can cover the requirements for some vitamins in animal nutrition, including human nutrition, while supplementing others. Marine microalgae can thus be considered to represent a non-conventional source of vitamins or a vitamin supplement for animal or human nutrition.
