Abstract(s)
(Introduction) Protein sources will experience great increase in demand due primarly to the growing
population and the change in consumer's habbits. Animal proteins account for about 40% of global protein consumption, however, they are associated with a high environmental footprint. Microalgae are emerging as promising sustainable alternatives. Beyond their rich protein content, Spirulina has a spectrum of dietary bioactive compounds, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, positioning it as a valuable addition to mainstream foods, with the potential to increase their nutritional value and mitigate environmental impact.
