This thesis analyzes the characteristics of a promising nutrient source that has been little used to date: microalgae. They present themselves as an extraordinary reservoir of essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and antioxidant substances that could be used in food and pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and illustrate the characteristics of microalgae, their potential (mainly nutritional and related to health and environmental sustainability) and the obstacles (mostly economic and legislative) to their production and use as a food or food additive.
La tesi analizza le caratteristiche di una promettente risorsa nutritiva ad oggi scarsamente impiegata: le microalghe. Esse si presentano come una straordinaria riserva di acidi grassi essenziali, minerali, vitamine e sostanze antiossidanti, che potrebbero essere impiegate in ambito alimentare e farmaceutico. Lo scopo della tesi è quello di analizzare ed illustrare le caratteristiche delle microalghe, le loro potenzialità (principalmente di natura nutrizionale e correlate alla salute ed alla sostenibilità ambientale) e gli ostacoli (per lo più economici e legislativi) alla loro produzione ed al loro impiego come alimento o additivo alimentare.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes the characteristics of a promising nutrient source that has been little used to date: microalgae. They present themselves as an extraordinary reservoir of essential fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and antioxidant substances that could be used in food and pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and illustrate the characteristics of microalgae, their potential (mainly nutritional and related to health and environmental sustainability) and the obstacles (mostly economic and legislative) to their production and use as a food or food additive.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
