Abstract

Abstract:

Chlorella is a kind of single cell alga containing plentiful proteins and polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals and low fat. Therefore, Chlorella has many healthcare functions and can be used in food industry as a functional food and nutritionenhancing agent. The research progress in exploitation and utilization, especially for nutritional value, healthcare functions and applications of Chlorella in food industry has been reviewed in this paper.

Key words: Chlorella, nutritional value, healthcare function, food industry, application
