Abstract

A series of scientific studies were carried out for the production of biodiesel from microalgae isolated from the Egyptian flora. In addition to biofuel production from algae, pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics products are also produced. This makes the process more economically feasible. The advanced techniques of cultivation of algae allowed the microalgae to be started to present themselves as novel sources of pharmaceutical compounds. The accumulation of β-carotene by Dunaliella salina under suitable growth conditions has led to its potent antioxidant effect. Moreover, D. salina showed antidiabetic activity against Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats as well as neuromodulating effect against the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The results showed that D. salina is a rich source of carotenoid particularly β-carotene (10.89–15.2). D. salina powder (50 mg/kg) and D.salina extract (25mg/kg) revealed a hepatoprotective and treatment efficacy against fibrosis via ameliorating the elevation of liver enzymes and fibrotic markers induced by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats. Preparation a pharmaceutical product from D. salina extract for tropical application to treat wrinkles and skin aging was formulated. New products compounds were submitted for registration through Industrial Pharmaceutical Alliance (IPA). Global microalgae market segments and potential were presented.
