In WorkPackage 3, different microalgae were studied, aiming at the development of ingredients for natural cosmetics. This was attained either by including microalgae biomass as a whole, or as extracts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Microalgae can be considered novel, functional, \u201cgreen\u201d\/sustainable ingredients. Within #Algavalor, we selected the strains with more potential; we optimized culture conditions to promote an ideal biochemical composition; and we worked on extraction methods, to obtain the target functional compounds; we verified their bioactivities and developed prototypes of creams and soaps, enriched with microalgae.<\/p>\n
WP3 is led by #UMinho, working together with #CIIMAR<\/a>, #Allmicroalgae<\/a>, #UAveiro<\/a>, #FCUP<\/a>, #<\/a>EFP, and #Castelbel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In WorkPackage 3, different microalgae were studied, aiming at the development of ingredients for natural cosmetics.
