Biological lipids derived from oleaginous microorganisms are promising precursors for
renewable biofuel productions. Direct lipid extraction from wet cell-biomass is favored …

The urge for alternative forms of energy to meet the demands of the ever-growing population
is a primary concern throughout the world. With the improvement in technologies, biomass …

The susceptibility to rupture of the microalgae Nannochloropsis sp., Chlorella sp. and
Tetraselmis suecica by high pressure homogenization was compared quantitatively to the …

Microalgae are a promising source of lipids for biofuel production. To improve the economic
feasibility and sustainability of this biofuel feedstock, one should create value for co-products …

Among the most formidable challenges to algal biofuels is the ability to harvest algae and
extract intracellular lipids at low cost and with a positive energy balance. In this monograph …

Cell wall disruption is one of the most critical and energy-consuming steps in the overall
process of lipid extraction from microalgae. In this paper we investigate a multi-enzyme …

Background Microalgae have attracted considerable interest due to their ability to produce a
wide range of valuable compounds. Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) has been demonstrated to …

An industrially relevant method for disrupting microalgal cells and preferentially extracting
neutral lipids for large-scale biodiesel production was demonstrated on pastes (20–25 …

Renewable ethanol and isopropanol were employed for lipid transesterification in wet
microalgae cells to produce biodiesel with low crystallization temperature and reduce the …

Microalgae fractionation was investigated combining supercritical carbon dioxide extraction
of lipids and pigments and protein extraction from the residues, on Chlorella vulgaris and …
