Extraction and milking of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis cultures

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Natural astaxanthin can be recovered from Haematococcus pluvialis culture without any cell pre-treatment by using human-compatible solvents, and can be re-synthesized by cells if algae-compatible solvents are applied in a milking mode, avoiding a net biomass loss.
