Products made of chlorella

Chlorella contains five nutrients, of which the proportion of protein is as high as 65%. This makes people in recent years continue to pursue chlorella nutritional supplements, hoping to get healthy substances from it. It is one of the best-studied phototrophic eukaryotes. From the 1950s on, chlorella vulgaris and some other algal species were cultivated in huge quantities to meet the growing demand for alternative protein sources. After drying, algal biomass can be merchandised as tablets, capsules, extract or powder with specific biochemical qualities. However, the products quality will vary enormously because of the containing species, microbial contamination or content and quality of pigments. Quality control of micro algal products is an important issue that should be addressed by the manufacturers.
