- 1. VIVEKANANDHA ARTS AND SCIENCE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN Veerachipalayam - 637 303, Sankagiri, Salem Dt., Tamil Nadu India. Affiliated to Periyar University, Salem ; Recognised Under Section 2(f) & 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956 ) MICROALGAE IN NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS PRESENTED BY SONIYA SREE SAKTHIVEL Ist yr MSc., Microbiology DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY
- 3. CONTENTS INCLUDE Introduction Nutraceutical application of Microalgae Spirulina ( Arthrospira ) Chlorella Dunaliella Haematococcus Conclusion Reference
- 4. INTRODUCTION Micro algae are widely used in Nutraceutical applications. The effects on human health and their bioactive molecules are more Alge or an extensively desired product for use in neutraceuticals. Proteins,Carbohydrates, lipids are among the important substances derived from these algae for pharmacological and neutraceutical purposes Algae can be used as additives, antioxidants, dyes, feed for aquaculture Chlorella was the first commercially cultivated microalgae for neutraceutical in Japan
- 5. THE NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATION OF MICROALGAE The Nutraceutical application of microalgae has focused specifically on four major microalgae Spirulina ( Arthrospira ) Chlorella Dunaliella salina Haematococcus pluviali
- 6. SPIRULINA ( ARTHROSPIRA ) Spirulina is a biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can be consumed by humans and animals. The three species are Arthrospira plantesis, A.fusiformis, and A. maxima.
- 7. Spirulina is regarded as a super food. It contains 60-70% protein. It is also contain Vitamin-B, Phycocyanin, Omega-6 fatty acid Vitamin-E and many minerals It is highly effective in diabetes, Hypertension and weight loss It helps to manage cholesterol metabolism by raising HDL level which promotes better cardiovascular health C-Phycocyanin pigment found in spirulina as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties It contain essential amino acids like leucine, isoleucine ,valine Spirulina plantensis is a natural source of DHA It contain Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, Provitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Folic acid etc., NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATION OF SPIRULINA
- 8. CHLORELLA Chlorella is a genus of about thirteen species of single-celled green algae of the division Chlorophyta. The cells are spherical in shape, about 2 to 10 μm in diameter, and are without flagella. Their chloroplasts contain the green photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll-a and -b. The widely used Chlorella species are Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella pyrenoidosa
- 9. NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS OF CHLORELLA Utilize as an ideal food in space It has detoxicant action Helps to stimulate immune system It regulates high blood pressure It relieve Fibromyalgia and ulcerative colitis It contain Pro vitamin A, Vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Biotin, Folic acid and Pantothenic acid, lipid, carbohydrate, dietary fibre It helps to lower cholesterol level
- 10. DUNALIELLA Dunaliella is a single-celled, photosynthetic green alga, that is characteristic for its ability to outcompete other organisms and thrive in hypersaline environments. Example : Dunaliella salina
- 11. NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATION OF DUNALIELLA It contain large amount of Beta-Carotene, Protein, Glycerol. Dunaliella can be cultivated in brakish, Marine and high saline water. Mainly used for its beta Carotene production. It produce many carotenoid pigments which the dominant is beta Carotene and small amount of lutein and lycopene. It prevent cancer for various organs like the lungs, cervix, pancreas, breast, prostate and ovary by means of antioxidant activity. It contain hepatoproductive effects and reduce the occurrence of liver lisions.
- 12. β-carotenes and carotenoids extract from Dunaliella salina
- 13. HAEMATOCOCCUS Haematococcus is a genus of algae in the family Haematococcaceae. Members of this group are a common cause of the pink color found in birdbaths. One of the most notable species of Haematococcus is H. pluvialis, which is used in cosmetic products due to its production of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant carotenoid, under stress conditions. H.pluvialis
- 14. NUTRACEUTICAL APPLICATION OF HAEMATOCOCCUS It has the ability to accumulate large quantities of strong antioxidant and astaxanthin under any conditions. Astaxanthin used in nutritional supplement and anti-inflammatory and anti cancer agent for all cardiovascular disease. It prevent diabetes. It prevent neuro degenerative disorders. It stimulate immunization.

- 16. CONCLUSION When it comes to the nutraceutical application of microalgae, there's so much potential. These tiny powerhouses are packed with nutrients and bioactive compounds that can have various health benefits. From omega-3 fatty acids to antioxidants, microalgae offer a range of potential applications in areas like dietary supplements, functional foods, and even skincare products. With ongoing research and advancements, the future looks bright for harnessing the power of microalgae in the nutraceutical industry. 🌱💪
