Influence of Light Regimes on Production of Beneficial Pigments and Nutrients by Microalgae for Functional Plant-Based Foods

Microalgal biomass has emerged as a valuable and nutrient-rich source of novel plant-based foods of the future, with several demonstrated benefits. In addition to their green and health-promoting characteristics, these foods exhibit bioactive properties that contribute to a range of physiological benefits. Photoautotrophic microalgae are particularly important as a source of food products due to their ability to biosynthesize high-value compounds. Their photosynthetic efficiency and...
