dc.description.abstract |
The present research describes yeast assisted algal flocculation followed by evaluation of algae-yeast flocs for nutritional profile as potent food product. Co-flocculation of Chlorella pyrenoidosa using Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed 58.33 ± 2.37% flocculation efficiency. Nutrient composition of algae-yeast flocs (CP-Y) depicted higher protein content (35.52%) as compared to algae (23.72%) and yeast biomass (33.89). Amino acid profiles of CP-Y biomass depicted increase in essential amino acid content with higher ratio of essential to non-essential amino acid (0.68) as compared to Y (0.57) and CP (0.57) biomass. Lipid and carbohydrate content of CP-Y flocs was estimated as 26.95 ± 0.57% and 21.12 ± 0.83%, respectively. Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) analysis showed presence of omega rich polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) like α-linolenic acid (ω-3), Linoleic acid (ω-6), Palmitoleic acid (ω-7) etc in CP-Y biomass. The study provides novel insights on nutrition enriched biomass obtained after algal-yeast flocculation, which can be a better alternative to existing flocculation methods for food applications. |
