C-Phycocyanin, Anticancer Activity and Nutritional Value of Mass-Produced Spirulina platensis

Abstract: Spirulina platensis, a blue-green alga of Cyanophyta family, was isolated from Wady El-Natron district, El-Behara Governorate, 30.58333°N 30.33333°E. The dried biomass was determined to have a nutritional value of 61.0% protein, 23.5% carbohydrates, and 6.21% lipids. HPLC analysis revealed presence of eight essential amino acids (23.7 g•100 g −1 ) and nine non-essential amino acids (28.7 g•100 g −1 ). The major essential amino acid is methionine (4.8 g•100 g −1 ). However, glutamic acid is a significant non-es… Show more

“…is one of the microalgae that tend to be applied in healthy foods because it contains some components that the human body needs, such as fats, vitamins and minerals (Andrés et al, 1992;Bishop & Zubeck, 2012). It is worthily used not only as a food additive (Mohamed et al, 2013;Hassan et al, 2015), but also as a source of long chain matrix of biologically active ingredients (Kamal et al, 2017;Abo El-Khair et al, 2022a).…”
