Microalgae have emerged as a storehouse of biologically active components having numerous health benefits that can be used in the formulation of nutraceuticals, and functional foods, for human consumption. Among these biologically active components, functional triacylglycerols are increasingly attracting the attention of researchers owing to their beneficial characteristics. Microalgae are excellent sources of triacylglycerol containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and can be used by the vegan population as a replacement for fish oil. The functional triacylglycerols extracted using conventional processes have various drawbacks resulting in lower yield and inferior quality products. The non-thermal technologies are emerging as user-friendly and environment-friendly technologies that intensify the yield of final products and maintain the high purity of extracted products that can be used in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications. The present review focuses on major non-thermal technologies that can probably be used for the extraction of high-quality functional triacylglycerols from microalgae.
微藻已成为具有多种健康益处的生物活性成分的宝库，这些成分可用于生产供人类食用的营养保健品和功能性食品。在这些生物活性成分中，功能性三酰甘油因其有益特性而越来越受到研究人员的关注。微藻是含有omega-3和omega-6脂肪酸的三酰甘油的优质来源，素食人群可以用它来替代鱼油。使用传统工艺提取的功能性三酰甘油存在各种缺点，导致产量较低且产品质量较差。非热技术正作为用户友好型和环境友好型技术崭露头角，这些技术可提高最终产品的产量，并保持提取物的高纯度，可用于食品、化妆品、制药和营养保健品应用。本综述重点关注可能用于从微藻中提取高质量功能性三酰甘油的主要非热技术。
