Book Chapter Description

One of the most promising sources of astaxanthin is the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Biotechnological methods of natural production of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis have often been proposed as an eco-friendlier alternative. However, when compared to the production process of chemical synthesis, this premise is not so true. In light of this, this chapter covers a discussion critique of the environmental sustainability of the astaxanthin production process from Haematococcus pluvialis. First, we provide an overview of the production process, emphasizing the processing operations of the upstream and downstream stages. The core of the chapter resides in the in-depth assessment of the environmental sustainability indicators and metrics.
