“…The increase in the protein content of coated instant rice was due to the macromolecules of microalga biomass (Barkallah et al ., 2017). Furthermore, the increase in ash content means an increase in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, boron and copper in the instant rice by S. platensis (Rahim et al ., 2021). The reduction of moisture content after coating may be attributed to the decomposition of water molecules into oxygen radicals (Zou et al ., 2004).…”

“…The ash content indicates the total mineral content present in the sample, which means that S. platensis (5.3 ± 0.5%) had a higher mineral content than that of jasmine rice (1.5 ± 0.1%). The minerals present in S. platensis are potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, boron, and copper 16 , while iron, phosphorus, and calcium are represented in jasmine rice 17 . Phycocyanin and chlorophyll a are the main phytopigments in S. platensis 16 .…”

Phycocyanin and chlorophyll a are the main phytopigments in S. platensis 16 . In this study, the phycocyanin and chlorophyll a content observed in S. platensis was 22.4 ± 0.2% and 7.8 ± 0.5%, respectively.…”

“…However, these therapeutic strategies are themselves reported to have a number of different safety and efficacy concerns. Hence, several recent studies have been directed towards medicinal plants (Table 3 and 4) as natural sources of biomolecules, such as essential metals and antioxidants, which can simultaneously exercise the two therapeutic strategies, chelation and free radical scavenging [110]. Table 3.…”
