The Effect of the Complex Processing of Microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris on the Intensification of the Lipid Extraction Process

Microalgae are considered a promising source of lipids. However, the existing technologies of their extraction necessitate a massive improvement. In the course of the study optimal parameters of microwave radiation and of enzyme mixture "Cellolux A" and "Protosubtilin G3x" were experimentally selected and theoretically proved so as to allow increasing the yield of lipids 5.75 times to 23 % in comparison with the control sample (5 %). Moreover, the ratio and type of polar and non-polar solvents in the extraction stage for the maximum extraction of lipids was determined taking into account the necessity to process protein-lipid complexes.
