Nannochloropsis algae is a small unicellular algae, belonging to the Eustigmatophyceae family. They are commonly found in saltwater and freshwater environments worldwide. Due to its high nutritional value, especially the unsaturated fatty acid content EPA, scientific evidence shows the benefits of Nannochloropsis in life, which demands application in the fields of food processing and pharmaceuticals, biofuels. And the environment are becoming more and more interested and learned by many people.

Informations about the algae Nannchoropsis.sp

  1. Size: Nannochloropsis algae are small in size, usually only about 2 to 5 micrometers (µm). This small size helps them absorb light effectively to perform photosynthesis.
  2. Color: Usually blue or green. This color is due to the algae containing chlorophyll compounds to absorb light for photosynthesis.
  3. Growth: Nannochloropsis algae has a fast growth rate. They have the ability to divide themselves to create new offspring, and growth time is from 1 to 2 days. This makes them a useful resource for growing on an industrial scale.
  4. Cell structure: Nannochloropsis algae has a simple cell structure, consisting of a single sphere or ellipsoid. They have thin cell membranes and do not have a hard outer cell membrane like some other algae.
  5. Application: Nannochloropsis algae is used in many different fields. They are a rich source of protein and oil, so they are used in the production of animal feed and natural food for marine animals such as shrimp, fish, snails, and oysters. In addition, Nannochloropsis algae also has the ability to produce antioxidants and natural pharmaceuticals.

Nannochloropsis algae with uses for human health

Nannochloropsis algae provides many health benefits to humans. Below are some of the main uses of Nannochloropsis algae for human health:

  1. Provides nutrients: Nannochloropsis algae is a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. These nutrients play an important role in supporting immune function, promoting heart, bone and teeth health, as well as providing the body with energy.
  2. Antioxidants: Nannochloropsis algae contains antioxidant compounds such as beta-carotene, lutein and astaxanthin. These substances help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of inflammation and oxidative disease.
  3. Strengthens the digestive system: Anti-bacterial substances and natural fiber found in Nannochloropsis algae help strengthen the digestive system. They can support digestion, nutrient absorption and maintain intestinal bacterial balance.
  4. Supports brain health: Nannochloropsis algae contains omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are beneficial for brain health. Omega-3 may help improve memory, boost brain function and reduce the risk of age-related problems such as mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
  5. Supports eye health: Nannochloropsis algae contains carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which have the ability to protect eyes from the effects of sunlight and free radicals. They may help reduce the risk of eye conditions such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

IMC builds a Nannochloropsis algae farming system on a bag post system (Polyethylene bags):

Polyethylene bags used to grow algae have a diameter of 20 – 30 cm, a thickness of 0.2 mm, and a bag volume of 50 – 500L (Creswell, 2010). In biomass production of Nannochloropsis sp., culture using hanging polyethylene bags or pillars with supports is the most popular. These bags can use artificial or natural light. This farming model is low cost, easy to install and operate (Zittelli et al., 2003). The polyethylene bag model is quite commonly used in Israeli and French algae biomass farming companies to serve the production of cosmetics, functional foods and pharmaceuticals.

IMC provides preparations after harvesting Nannochloropsis algae: such as paste, powder… that meet quality criteria in production.

Applications of Nannochloropsis Algae for life are of great interest such as:

– Powdered milk contains Nannochloropsis algae

– Health-enhancing drinking water containing algae

– Algae collagen water

– Algae pills (tablets, capsules)
