Abstract:
... Microalgal lipids consist of non-polar and polar lipids. Triacyleglyceride (TAG), a non-polar lipid, is convertible to biodiesel, whereas glycolipids and phospholipids are polar and not convertible to biodiesel owing to their high degree of unsaturation (polyunsaturated fatty acids), which makes the production process insufficient and expensive. In this review, microalgal species that contain the ...
