The microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is a cheap source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, thus used in many interventional studies. This study evaluated the potential effects C. powder on fermentation parameters; sensory, phytochemical, antioxidant activity; abundance volatile organic compounds (VOCs) treated versus control beers. A German Pilsner-style lager beer (GPB) was brewed supplemented ...
