Microalgae is one of the most important components in the aquatic ecosystem, and they are increasingly used in food and medicine production for human consumption due to their rapid growth cycle and survival ability in the harsh environment. Now, the exploration of microalgae has been gradually deepening, mainly focused on the field of nutrition, medicine, and cosmetics. A great deal of studies has shown that microalgae have a variety of functions in regulating the body health and preventing disease, such as nitrogen fixation, antitumor, antivirus, antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, and antithrombotic. Furthermore, microalgae can synthesize various high-valued bioactive substances, such as proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and pigments. In this paper, we have briefly reviewed the research progress of main bioactive components in microalgae, proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, pigments, and other nutrients included, as well as their present application situation. This paper can provide the guidance for research and development of industrial production of microalgae.
微藻是水生生态系统中最重要的组成部分之一，由于其生长周期短且能在恶劣环境中生存，它们在供人类食用的食品和药品生产中得到越来越广泛的应用。目前，对微藻的探索正在逐步深入，主要集中在营养、医药和化妆品领域。大量研究表明，微藻在调节身体健康和预防疾病方面具有多种功能，如固氮、抗肿瘤、抗病毒、抗氧化、抗炎和抗血栓形成等。此外，微藻能够合成各种高价值的生物活性物质，如蛋白质、脂质、多糖和色素。在本文中，我们简要综述了微藻中主要生物活性成分、包括蛋白质、脂质、多糖、色素及其他营养成分的研究进展及其目前的应用情况。本文可为微藻工业化生产的研发提供指导。
