The major carotenoids of market interest are capsanthin, astaxanthin, ß-carotene, lutein,
lycopene, canthaxanthin, and zeaxanthin. The main carotenoids of microalgae are …

Carotenoids are pigments having a proven role as food colorants, antioxidants, health-
promoting substances, food additives, feed additives, vitamins, pharmaceuticals, etc. After …

Microalgae (including cyanobacteria) are the simplest and the most efficient photosynthetic
organisms, probably because they have very quick responses and adaptations to …

Due to increased demand for naturally produced pigments, microalgae signify a
