Title: Efficient lipid extraction and quantification of fatty acids from algal biomass using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE)

Abstract

Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), a commercially available pressurized fluid extraction technique and conventional manual extraction were compared to identify the most effective chloroform–methanol extraction method for algal lipids. Using optimal ASE operating conditions (methanol/chloroform = 2 : 1 by vol, 100 °C, static time of 5 min, and four static cycles), the lipid contents of Chlorella vulgaris, C. sorokiniana, C. zofingiensis and Nannochloropsis gaditana were 27.5%, 25.8%, 15.2%, 29.8% of dry biomass, respectively. Here, the total fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content of dry biomass from ASE extraction was found to be 1.3–2.7 fold higher than that from conventional manual extract from these species, demonstrating that ASE exhibited significant improvement for lipid and FAME recovery. Furthermore, ASE showed the capacity to extract all-cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as 3.0% of dry biomass from Nannochloropsis gaditana suggesting that ASE has the potential to obtain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as well.

Optimization of one-step in situ transesterification method for accurate quantification of EPA in Nannochloropsis gaditana

Journal Article Tang, Yuting ; Zhang, Yue ; Rosenberg, Julian N. ; ... - Applied Sciences

Microalgae are a valuable source of lipid feedstocks for biodiesel and valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Nannochloropsis gaditana has emerged as a promising producer of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) due to its fast growth rate and high EPA content. In the present study, the fatty acid profile of Nannochloropsis gaditana was found to be naturally high in EPA and devoid of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), thereby providing an opportunity to maximize the efficacy of EPA production.

Accurate and Reliable Quantification of Total Microalgal Fuel Potential as Fatty Acid Methyl Esters by in situ Transesterfication

Journal Article Laurens, Lieve M. L. ; Quinn, Matthew ; Van Wychen, Stefanie ; ... - Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

In the context of algal biofuels, lipids, or better aliphatic chains of the fatty acids, are perhaps the most important constituents of algal biomass. Accurate quantification of lipids and their respective fuel yield is crucial for comparison of algal strains and growth conditions and for process monitoring. As an alternative to traditional solvent-based lipid extraction procedures, we have developed a robust whole-biomass in situ transesterification procedure for quantification of algal lipids (as fatty acid methyl esters, FAMEs) that (a) can be carried out on a small scale (using 4-7 mg of biomass), (b) is applicable to a range of differentmore »« less

Evaluation of lipid extractability after flash hydrolysis of algae

Journal Article Teymouri, Ali ; Adams, Kameron J. ; Dong, Tao ; ... - Fuel

Microalgae is identified as a promising feedstock for producing renewable liquid transportation fuels; however, lipids extraction from microalgae for downstream processing to biofuels is one of the important challenges for algal based biorefineries. This work aims at evaluating the potential of applying flash hydrolysis (FH) as a chemical-free technique to increase the lipids extractability of algal biomass as well as its integration with the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae to enhance the biocrude yields and characteristics for fuel production. To this aim, the FH process was performed on three different algal species (Scenedesmus sp., Nannochloropsis sp., and Chlorella vulgaris) atmore »« less
