Zusammenfassung:A process for the extraction of lipids from algal biomass comprising : - producing an aqueous suspension of algal biomass; - adding to said aqueous suspension of algal biomass at least one organic solvent immiscible or substantially immiscible with water obtaining an organic-aqueous mixture; - subjecting said organic-aqueous mixture to evaporation of water and lipid extraction , operating at a temperature such to obtain the substantial complete removal of the water from said organic-aqueous mixture , obtaining : (i) an organic phase comprising lipids and said organic solvent; (ii) a semi-solid phase comprising a residue of said algal biomass
