“…however, yeast biomass is relatively superior to soybean protein and wheat flour concerning their methionine content. Methionine is somewhat liable to acid hydrolysis (14). therefore, the values presented in Table 4 for methionine, underestimate the actual methionine concentration in the biomass of the samples.…”

“…Proteins from marine micro algae examined in this study were also low in methionine and cystine, compared with the quantity in the FAO reference protein. Methionine is somewhat labile to acid hydrolysis (Menden and Cremer 1970). The values reported in Table 2 for methionine thus underestimate the actual methionine concentration in the protein of the microalgae.…”

The marine microalgae Tetraselmis suecica, Isochrysis galbana, Dunaliella tertiolecta and Chlorella stigmatophora are good biological sources of single cell protein (SCP). Protein content accounts for 39.12%-54.20% of the dry matter, D.tertiolecta having the highest. Lysine values are between 3.67 and 4.52 g/100 g of protein, and thus are higher than those for freshwater species. The total nucleic acid content is less than 7% of the dry matter; this value is definitely lower than that for yeasts or bacteria, commonly used as SCP sources. Amino acid profiles of the four species are very similar and comparable to the FAO reference protein, buth with a low content of methionine and cystine and a high content of lysine. The MEAA indices are between 81 and 84.98, without significant differences among the four species. Marine microalgae can be used as a potential SCP source.
