Why is it important?
The results suggested that Chlorella vulgaris microalgae can be sustainably harvested for the production of biodiesel, both drying techniques can be employed for effective extraction but oven dried biomass oil was found to be of high quality because of the balanced in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid compositions and have an easy mode of operation but it required instrumentation.
Perspectives
Oven dried biomass oil was found to be of high quality because of the balanced in saturated and unsaturated fatty acid compositions (C14:0, C16:0, C19:0, C11:1, C18:1 cis9 and C22:1ω9).
