Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Conventional methods for extracting bioactive compounds from microalgae rely on organic solvents that are both polluting and potentially harmful to human health. In recent years, a noticeable shift has emerged toward greener extraction alternatives that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. This review highlights various green extraction techniques, compounds, and yields obtained from different microalgal species for a range of applications and provides a comparison between the yields of conventional and green extraction methods. Green extraction methods have shown yields that are comparable to, or even exceed, those of conventional techniques, although they are predominantly studied for the extraction of lipids and pigments. This review aims to provide an overview of the current state of green extraction applied to microalgae, and to outline future research perspectives in this emerging field.
