Abstract

Background: Lipids are biomolecules with interesting structural variability. They are involved in many processes such as the storage of energy, in nutrition and are also of relevance for signal transduction processes, in apoptosis, cell differentiation and phagocytosis, etc. Macroalgae and microalgae are a promising and very diverse group of organisms. These living arganisms inhabit a vaste range of ecosystems from the Antarctic to the Deserts. They account for above half the primary productivity at the base of the food chain because of their multiple nutritional products including, for instance, lipids.

Results: Recently, studies on the oleaginous algae encompass their uses for commercial exploitations with applications ranging from human health food, animal feed, aquaculture, nutraceutical, biofuels and others. In this article, updated knowledge of lipids and recent research studies for algae's valorization performed by several authors were reviewed. Special attention was paid to lipids accumulation and their characterization.

Conclusion: The selection of the prominent species of algae will be of great importance to satisfy the corresponding valorization process. Patents identified with algal lipids composition, production and application are presented.

植物脂质的发生和重要性:对藻类的展望。
背景:脂质是具有有趣的结构变异性的生物分子。它们参与许多过程,如能量储存、营养,也与信号转导过程、细胞凋亡、细胞分化和吞噬等有关。巨藻和微藻是一种极具发展前景且种类繁多的生物。这些生物生活在从南极到沙漠的广阔生态系统中。它们占了食物链底部初级生产力的一半以上,因为它们有多种营养产品,例如脂类。结果:最近,对产油藻类的研究包括其商业开发用途,应用范围包括人类保健食品、动物饲料、水产养殖、营养食品、生物燃料等。本文综述了脂类的最新知识和最近几位作者对藻类增殖的研究进展。特别注意脂质积累及其表征。结论:选择突出的藻类品种对满足相应的增殖过程具有重要意义。介绍了藻脂的组成、生产和应用方面的专利认定。
