Algal Genetic Resources
Cosmeceuticals, Nutraceuticals, and Pharmaceuticals from Algae
About this book
This book focuses on the current and potential applications of microalgae and cyanobacteria in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals. The book deals with the very recent and advanced techniques and technologies in algal cultivation and extraction for its application. The chapters discuss the biological importance, properties, and uses of algal metabolites and microalgae-based compounds in drug development, in food nutrition enhancement, and in the development of cosmetics with medicinal properties.
The chapter authors cover a range of diverse topics on algal biological resources, such as:
- algae as a nutraceutical and functional food ingredient
- the extraction of food bioactive compounds from microalgae
- spirulina-derived nutraceuticals and their applications in the food industry
- anticancer compounds from freshwater microalgae
- cosmetic applications of microalgal and cyanobacterial pigments
- and more
This unique book, Algal Genetic Resources: Cosmeceuticals, Nutraceuticals, and Pharmaceuticals from Algae, will enlighten readers on the vast usefulness of microalgae and cyanobacteria as an important resource for the cosmeceutical, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for their broad biotechnological potential industrial applications. The volume will be a valuable reference for scientists and researchers in these areas as well as for advanced students and faculty in ecology, phycology, botany, agriculture, biotechnology, microbiology, environmental biotechnology, plant science, and life sciences.
