The effects of Spirulina platensis on behavior in adolescent rats fed a high-fat diet
In conclusion, SP supplementation in adolescence period might positively affect chronic high fat-induced anxiety-like and depressive-like behavior by partially affecting brain leptin levels and without affecting Sirtuin-1 levels.PMID:37315948 | DOI:10.1002/jdn.10281 (Source: International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience)

Production of engineered algal biochar through microwave pyrolysis for nutrient recovery from aqueous solution
In this study, nitrate and phosphate were recovered from secondary treated domestic wastewater using microalgal biochar (Spirulina sp.). The biochar was obtained by microwave pyrolysis of algae at 400  W power for 10 min. The biochar was modified using Mg(OH)2 under different conditions. Three pre-and post-treated biochars with varied Mg(OH)2 percentages (2%, 4%, and 6% by weight) were produced. All the modifications in biochar improved its specific surface area. Highest specific surface area of the modified biochar reached 33 m2/g compared to 12 m2/g of the unmodified biochar. SEM analysis showed improvement in the poro...

Ameliorative effects of microencapsulated in beverage; physicochemical, simulated release, and organoleptic properties
Ameliorative effects of microencapsulated in beverage; physicochemical, simulated release, and organoleptic properties Nur Ain Syuhada Zamri, Noor Azlina Kamaruding, Shahrulzaman Shaharuddin Nutrition & Food Science, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- The use of Spirulina sp. in food is limited by its bitter flavour and low absorption in the gastrointestinal system. The purpose of this study is to develop encapsulated Spirulina-alginate beads and to determine the physicochemical properties, the release efficiency in the simulated gastrointestinal fluid and the sensory acceptance of the beads when added into ...

Cultivation of blue green algae (Arthrospira platensis Gomont, 1892) in wastewater for biodiesel production
Chemosphere. 2023 Jun 2:139107. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe production of biodiesel has become an important issue in the effort to reduce gas emissions due to the climate change crisis; therefore, algae have widely used to produce biodiesel for energy sustainability. The present study represented an effort to assess the ability of the alga Arthrospira platensis to produce fatty acids involved in biofuel (diesel) by cultivation in Zarrouk media enriched with different municipal wastewater concentrations. Wastewater was used in different concentrations (5, 15, 25, 35 and 100% [co...
