Sousa, Vítor Emanuel Silva; Maciel, José Filipe Gonçalves; Vicente, A. A.; Dias, Oscar; Geada, Pedro Miguel MacedoDunaliella salina is the most promising natural source of b-carotene, presenting itself as a valid alternative to traditional chemically synthesized carotenoids. Microalgal pigments present several advantages compared to their synthetically produced counterparts, revealing, for instance, higher bioaccessibility. In the present study, a central composite rotatable design and a central composite design were emplo...
