Natural carotenoid pigments of 6 chlorophyta freshwater green algae species

Nowadays, halal products are gaining wider recognition as a new benchmark for safety and quality assurance.As a consequence the commercial development of microalgae is established due to their high value chemicals, for examples, β-carotene, astaxanthin, phycobilin pigments and algal extracts for cos...
