Microwave-Assisted Extraction for Microalgae: From Biofuels to Biorefinery

The commercial reality of bioactive compounds and oil production from microalgal species is constrained by the high cost of production. Downstream processing, which includes harvesting and extraction, can account for 70–80% of the total cost of production. Consequently, from an economic perspective...
