Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Microalgae are regarded as a promising and feasible source of diverse products for application in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, and chemical industries. Such products include biofuels, lipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, pigments, enzymes, polysaccharides, and proteins. The recovery of products from algal biomass is a matter of constant development and progress. In the present chapter, the standard techniques for the extraction of biofuels and high-value metabolites from microalgae in the laboratory are reviewed. Traditional methods such as solvent extraction, as well as novel techniques, like supercritical fluid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and ultrasound-assisted extraction, are presented in this work, including the suitability of these methods for specific types of metabolites. Pretreatment techniques for the enhancement of product recovery are discussed. This chapter is intended as a reference of the existing methods for the researcher looking forward to study the production of metabolites by microalgae, in order to aid the selection of a suitable technique for specific metabolites.
