Abstract

Microalgae are photosynthetic autotrophic single-celled aquatic organisms, which can synthesize lipids, proteins, astaxanthin, and other bioactive components. Microalgae are rich in protein with high nutritional properties that can regulate body health, prevent and treat diseases, etc., and have broad development prospects in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields. The key to protein extraction from microalgae is the efficient lysis of its cell wall, aiming at releasing the protein in the microalgae cell fully. Therefore, based on the common microalgae cell wall disruption technology, the extraction methods of microalgae protein were compared and analyzed systematically. The purpose of this study was to explore the extraction methods of microalgae protein, which were easier to industrialize, had higher wall-breaking efficiency and more economical process, and obtained protein with better quality. It is expected to guide the further development and utilization of microalgae protein, as well as increase its commercial value.
