- Microalgal cultivation: Within AlgaPHESH, cultivation of the marine species Nannochloropsis oculata, Chlorella minutissima, Isochrysis galbana and Dunaliella salina is investigated, with view to optimizing the production of phenolic compounds.
- Development of an innovative extraction process for the phenolic compounds: Investigation of different extraction methods, selection of the optimal method and thorough analysis of the produced phenolics.
- Evaluation of the produced extracts and standardization of raw materials and cosmetics: Thorough study of the produced mixture based on the European Pharmacy and preparation of the official accompanying documents, in accordance with Regulation EC 1272/2008.
- Characterization of the residual microalgal biomass: Evaluation of the residual biomass after phenolic extraction, with view to providing it to fish farming facilities.
