TEWICOS
Process development for the extraction of lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts from the microalgae Tetradesmus wisconsinensis as raw materials for cosmeceuticals on an industrial scale
objectives:
- Development of a sequential cultivation and processing procedure for the extraction of lipophilic (canthaxanthin-enriched) and hydrophilic (bioactive amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, vitamins) extracts from the green alga Tetradesmus wisconsinensis, which has been previously not investigated
- Biochemical and functional characterization of the extracts
- Transfer of the process for obtaining functional extracts with oral and percutaneous application from laboratory to industrial scale
