Cultivating algae for human consumption using controlled environments.
Photobiological cultivation of algae followed by chemical extraction yields proteins, lipids and polysaccharides for food use.
Algal oil extraction liberates high‑omega‑3 fatty acids from microalgal biomass using solvent, supercritical CO₂, or enzymatic methods.
Microalgae are cultivated in photobioreactors and processed to yield high‑protein biomass for food.
Ionic gelation technique creating thin membrane spheres through calcium-alginate crosslinking.
Alginate encapsulation uses calcium-induced gelation to create semi-permeable spheres that control flavor release.
