In the early 1950s, when the world was at the height of industrialization and the population was flourishing. Growing enough food for an ever-growing population was a challenge. Food demand was expected to increase by 25-30% over the next few decades. Alternative food sources were considered the only way out of this crisis. Chlorella was one of the potential candidates for these alternative foods. It was specifically selected by researchers to explore and improve its production as a food of the future. Since then, Chlorella has become an interesting food whose benefits and large-scale production are continuously being researched.

Spirulina (scientifically known as Arthrospira platensis) is a spiral filamentous microalgal/cyanobacterial species. Its biomass has been utilized as food for many years due to its high protein content. Traditionally known by some African communities as a food source. But, now exploited as the food of the future. Spirulina contains vitamins (B, E, and C), proteins, fatty acids, lots of minerals, and some fiber. Furthermore, antioxidants like phycocyanin comprise a major part of its 50-60% protein content. This nutritionally rich nature makes it a complete food. It could provide all the essential nutrients if consumed on a regular basis.

Microalgae-extracted phycocyanin powder or liquid is the best natural colorant for food, beverages, and cosmetics products. Phycocyanin pigment enhances the nutritional and aesthetic value by adding proteins, antioxidants, and a fresh appearance to ordinary food and cosmetics products.

Being photosynthetic organisms’ algae require maximum light exposure, nutrients (C, N, P, K), plenty of water, and vigorous agitation if they are to grow successfully on an industrial scale. A photobioreactor (PBR) is a technological invention that offers all appropriate conditions for algal growth including a maximum surface area for trapping light energy. Photobioreactor also protects the growing culture from environmental stresses and grazer attacks. The efficient algae cultivation system is considered which provides all the above-mentioned growth conditions with the cheapest resources and implementation strategies.

Conventional animal feed is criticized for its nutritional quality and applications as feed for farm animals, aquacultures, and poultry. lack of essential nutrients in animal feed affects the growth and productivity of fish, animals, and poultry birds. To overcome the situation of low-quality animal feed, modification and fortification of nutrients in animal feed are a must.
