Optimization of Enriched Diet Pastille Formulation Containing Spirulina Platensis Microalgae Using Replacement Sucrose with Stevioside-Isomalt and Gelatin Persian Gum by Response Surface Methodology (RSM)

BACKGROUND A pilot study was conducted to determine the effects of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) on Cretan patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Spirulina is a filamentous cyanobacterium taken as a dietary supplement. METHODS Fifteen adult Cretan outpatients (13 men), median age 48 (range: 29-62) years, with NAFLD were orally supplemented with 6 g of Spirulina (Greek pr...

The anti-atherogenic effects of spirulina (Spirulina platensis) were investigated in the New Zealand White (NZW) rabbit model. The animal had hypercholesterolemia induced by being fed a high cholesterol diet (HCD) containing 0.5% cholesterol for 4 wk, and then fed a HCD supplemented with 1 or 5% spirulina (SP1 or SP5) for an additional 8 wk. Spirulina supplementation lowered intimal surface of ...

Deltamethrin is a broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide widely used for agricultural and veterinary purposes. However, its human and animal exposure leads to hepatonephrotoxicity. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to examine the hepatonephroprotective and antioxidant potential of Spirulina platensis against deltamethrin toxicity in male Wistar albino rats. Delt...

For purposeful control of the adsorption process, a comprehensive study properties original cells and effect metal ions on them is necessary. In this regard, features Cr(III) cell surface Spirulina platensis algae were studied. FTIR spectroscopy revealed that main functional groups responsible for binding are carboxyl, hydroxyl, amino, phosphate algae. The data processed using Langmuir Freundli...

Microorganism-based bioremediation is a well-sought after method for industrial wastewater treatment and forms the primary stage. The current research suggests using Spirulina platensis as an organism of choice bioremediation. This study provides insight into potential use primary-treated growth media platensis. tolerance S. was confirmed metals such mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), ...

Spirulina platensis is a micro alga which contains many essential fatty acids, like gamma linolenic acid, stearic acid, myristic acid, linoleic acid, heptadecanoic acid etc. The composition of individual fatty acids had been found out through GC-MS analysis based on their retention time and molecular weight. Winterization procedure was used for the extraction of fatty acid mixture. Fatty acid m...

BACKGROUND Micronutrient deficiencies occur early in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections they have reverse effects on the nutritional status. The diet supplementation with a natural nutraceutical rich in proteins and micronutrient like Spirulina platensis, may be effective and efficient in delaying HIV disease progression by frequently reported improvement in immune response.
