Abstract

Global interest of new consumption, nutrition trends, and market for dietary phytochemical functional supplements have greatly increased over recent decades. In which, commercially available food supplements based on microalgae such as Spirulina (Cyanobacteria) are becoming increasingly popular. Microalgae are rich in important nutritional phytochemicals such as phycocyanin novel protein in Spirulina, polyphenols, flavonoids, and vitamins, all which are known to positively impact human health. This review discusses the beneficial impacts of using microalgae and their phytochemicals in the different fields with their production limitation. Also, different recent analytical methods are highlighted to emphasize the trending of this very important approach which are directly related to the human health and the global food consumption.

Keywords:Microalgae photochemistry; organic molecules; analytical methods; single cell Raman; novel bioactive molecules
