Abstract: A method executed by an engine of a computing device for simulating microalgae fermentation is described. The engine receives an input from a user. The input includes an identification of a microalgae, an identification of a culture media, an identification of an enclosure, and an identification of fermentation conditions for the microalgae when the microalgae is located in the culture media and when the microalgae and the culture media are located in the enclosure. An algorithm of the engine is used to simulate fermentation of the microalgae. A result of the simulation is displayed to the user.

Abstract: A method for using peptides for flavorings is described. The method includes, at least, obtaining a microalgae, extracting chlorella protein from the microalgae, modifying a factor associated with the chlorella protein to change an amino acid combination of the chlorella protein, and identifying a peptide flavoring associated with the modified amino acid combination.

Abstract: A bioreactor system for cultivating microalgae is described. The bioreactor system includes a bioreactor. The bioreactor includes one or more holes. One or more light sources are implanted into each of the one or more holes. A culture media comprising a carbon source is located inside of the bioreactor. A microalgae comprising a photoreceptor sensitive to a region of a visible spectrum is located in the culture media. Each of the one or more light sources produce an irradiance of light including the region of the visible spectrum in a sufficient intensity to transduce the photoreceptor of the microalgae.

Abstract: Methods for making a plant-based food product from a microalgae are described. An example method includes obtaining a microalgae, extracting chlorella protein from the microalgae, modifying a factor associated with the chlorella protein and/or adding a stimulant to the chlorella protein to change an amino acid combination of the chlorella protein, and utilizing the modified chlorella protein as a protein flour to create the plant-based food product.

Abstract: Methods to extract chlorella protein from algae powder are described. A first extraction method is an alkaline solution extraction method. A second extraction method is an enzyme extraction method. A third method is a low-temperature deep eutectic solvents (DES) extraction method. According to each of these methods, a protein recovery rate is calculated from a protein extract solution of chlorella protein.
