Extraction of fucoxanthin from Chaetoceros calcitrans by electropermeabilization-assisted liquid biphasic flotation system

Kuan Shiong Khoo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of the electropermeabilization-assisted liquid biphasic flotation (LBF) system in the extraction of fucoxanthin, a biocompound highly demanded by the food and pharmaceutical industries. The system achieves direct recovery of intracellular biocompounds from cells without the need for discrete bioprocessing steps, and shows high yields and good recovery rates.
