Fatty Acid Composition and Physical and Chemical Properties of Microalga Oils from Three Species

Abstract

Abstract: Three species of microalga were analyzed for oil content, fatty acid composition and physiochemical properties. The results showed that the oil contents of D. salina, Spirulina and Chlorella were 17.69%, 6.36% and 11.64%, respectively. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were the major fatty acids in D. salina oil and Chlorella oil, while the major components of Spirulina oil were palmitic acid, linoleic acid and sub-linolenic acid. The oils from D. salina, Spirulina and Chlorella had high C/H levels, which were 7.35, 7.32 and 7.58, respectively. The acid value was 12.64 mg KOH/g for D. salina oil, 17.65 mg KOH/g for Spirulina oil and 9.8 mg KOH/g for Chlorella oil, respectively. The heating values were 36.07, 37.01 MJ/kg and 35.00 MJ/kg, respectively. The three microalga oils revealed high acid value and viscosity and poor fluidity.

Key words: D. salina, Spirulina, Chlorella, fatty acid composition, physical and chemical properties
