Downstream processing and formulation of microbial lipids

Editorial: Production, downstreaming, and utilization of proteins and exopolysaccharides from single cells in food matrices

“…Downstream processing of single-cell organisms is one of the most discussed and researched areas. Recently the processing of microalgae and microbial cells has been the main target for the production of proteins (Kumar et al, 2022), oils, or other special components usable e.g., in chromatography (Shukla et al, 2007;Käferböck et al, 2020;de Carvalho et al, 2022;Pleissner and Smetana, 2022). The studies indicated the increase of purity and amount of separated fractions and possibilities for the targeted separation in the case of application of emerging processing technologies.…”
