Evaluation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Microalgae as a Sustainable Feed Supplement and Fishmeal Substitute in Aquaculture with a Positive Impact on Human Nutrition (2023)
Journal Article
Darwish, R. M., Magee, K. J., Gedi, M. A., Farmanfarmaian, A., Zaky, A. S., Young, I., & Gray, D. A. (2023). Evaluation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Microalgae as a Sustainable Feed Supplement and Fishmeal Substitute in Aquaculture with a Positive Impact on Human Nutrition. Fermentation, 9(7), Article 682. https://doi.org/10.3390/fermentation9070682

Currently, there is an urgent need for the growing aquaculture sector to rely on sustainable ingredients which can achieve optimal growth while maintaining fish’s nutritional value (especially omega-3 fatty acid content) for human consumption. Here,... Read More about Evaluation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Microalgae as a Sustainable Feed Supplement and Fishmeal Substitute in Aquaculture with a Positive Impact on Human Nutrition.

In situ monitoring of galactolipid digestion by infrared spectroscopy in both model micelles and spinach chloroplasts (2023)
Journal Article
Sahaka, M., Mateos-Diaz, E., Amara, S., Wattanakul, J., Gray, D., Lafont, D., …Carrière, F. (2023). In situ monitoring of galactolipid digestion by infrared spectroscopy in both model micelles and spinach chloroplasts. Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 252, 105291. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2023.105291

Galactolipids are the main lipids from plant photosynthetic membranes and they can be digested by pancreatic lipase related protein 2 (PLRP2), an enzyme found in the pancreatic secretion in many animal species. Here, we used transmission Fourier-tran... Read More about In situ monitoring of galactolipid digestion by infrared spectroscopy in both model micelles and spinach chloroplasts.

Chloroplast/thylakoid-rich material: A possible alternative to the chemically synthesised flow enhancer polyglycerol polyricinoleate in oil-based systems (2023)
Journal Article
Sutcharit, P., Wattanakul, J., Price, R., Di Bari, V., Gould, J., Yakubov, G., …Gray, D. A. (2023). Chloroplast/thylakoid-rich material: A possible alternative to the chemically synthesised flow enhancer polyglycerol polyricinoleate in oil-based systems. Food Research International, 165, Article 112472. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112472

Chloroplasts are abundant organelles in a diverse range of plant materials; they are predominantly composed of multicomponent thylakoid membranes which are lipid and protein rich. Intact or unravelled thylakoid membranes should, in principle, have in...
