<i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i> as a Potential Source of Astaxanthin with Diverse Applications in Industrial Sectors: Current Research and Future Directions
<i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i>, a green microalga, appears to be a rich source of valuable bioactive compounds, such as astaxanthin, carotenoids, proteins, lutein, and fatty acids (FAs). Astaxanthin has a variety of health benefits and is used in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical indu...
