Microalgae Spirulina sp which has been cultivated by the Brackishwater Aquaculture Development Center, Situbondo Indonesia were tested for their potential energy performance using proximate analyzer, SEM-EDX, and thermogravimetry. The analyzer showed volatile matter (VM), fixed carbon (FC), moisture, ash content (AC), total sulfur of microalgae 68.15, 12.57, 11.22, 8.06, 0.67 (wt%, ar), respect...

Microalgae is the third generation of biomass as renewable energy, a future energy source for making bio-oil. The purpose this research to examine from microalgae Spirulina platensis residue (SPR) using pyrolysis process, investigate effect particle mesh and temperature on determine bio-oil properties, including density, pH, color, flame power, conversion. Fixed bed reactor used SPR with dimens...

Recent studies show that ingestion of flavanol-rich cocoa powder provokes increased endothelial production of nitric oxide - an effect likely mediated by epicatchin - and thus may have considerable potential for promoting vascular health. The Kuna Indians of Panama, who regularly consume large amounts of flavanol-rich cocoa, are virtually free of hypertension and stroke, even though they salt t...

A new direction in the development of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, provides for widespread use pigment containing components extracts microalgae blue-green algae. However, these requires a deeper study their effect on humans, including microbiota. In our experiments, it was found that extract algae Arthrospira platensis (commercial name drug Spirulina), with phycocyanin content 38%, is...

The prophyalactic contributions of spirulina and thankuni on rats experimentally induced with arsenic toxicity were tested and the comparative efficacies of both spirulina and thankuni were determined. Sixty apparently healthy rats were received, divided into 5 groups (T0 for control, T1 for arsenic treated group, T2 for arsenic plus spirulina treated group, T3 for arsenic plus thankuni treated...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the optimal radiation dose and observe the influence of radiation sterilization on spirulina polypeptide powder. METHODS: The polypeptide powder of spirulina was sterilized using a 60Coγ ray. RESULTS: Radiation sterilization had significant effects on spirulina polypeptide powder, which was more effective with increasing radiation dose. Taking the sterilization rate and ...

Spirulina (Spirulina platensis (Gomont) Geitler 1925) is a cyanobacteria used as an ecologically sound, nutrient-rich dietary supplement. These microalgae have the capability to produce least-cost protein per unit area compared livestock and are therefore being investigated address malnutrition food security. Apart from variety of components, such animal feed, fertilizer, cosmetics, produced Sp...

Abstract Metronidazole is well-known antibiotic which, globally, ranks high in popular usage. Therefore, traces of residues this were identified aquatic bodies. A photosynthetic cyanobacterium, the microalgae category, S. platensis , has been found to be efficient removal antibiotic. This study was performed evaluate efficiency metronidazole from aqueous environments. To set up optimum conditio...
