Insight in the effect of (a combination of) cell disruption techniques on the extraction of lipids from Nannochloropsis KU Leuven
Microalgae are a promising new type of biomass for the production of food ingredients. Microalgae such as Nannochloropsis sp. are rich in lipids including the essential omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Extraction of these lipids while maintaining their stability is not straightforward. In addition, mechanistic insight on the effects of extraction and cell wall disruption techniques on the biomass matrix is often ...
