Microalgae have shown potential to meet the population’s demand for increased sustainable food supply, specifically with regard to protein. The demand for microalgae and macroalgae food is growing and algae are increasingly being consumed for its functional benefits. These algae have bioactive compounds like proteins, amino-acids, lipids, pigments, antioxidants and that’s the reason why they are considered as a very interesting source for the development of food products and can be used to enhance the nutritional value of conventional food products. The bioactive compounds obtained from microalgae have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities.
