Chlorella vulgaris belongs to the class Chlorophyceae, family Chlorella. It is a single-celled algae, often solitary, but also multicellular. The cells are spherical or elliptical, with a pericyte, cup-shaped or plate-shaped chromatophore inside. It reproduces asexually, and each cell can produce 2, 4, 8 or 16 spores. When mature, the mother cell ruptures, the spores escape, and grow into new individuals. It is distributed all over the world, mostly living in small shallow waters, and there are also marine species. There are few individuals under natural conditions, but they can be reproduced in large numbers in artificial culture. The protein, fat and carbohydrate content in the cells is very high, and there are many vitamins, so it can be eaten and used as bait [1]. There are about 10 known species of Chlorella in the world, and with its variants, there are hundreds of species. Chlorella is widely distributed in nature, with the largest number of species in freshwater areas. It is easy to cultivate and can not only use light energy for autotrophy, but also use organic carbon sources for growth and reproduction under heterotrophic conditions. It also grows and reproduces quickly. It is the only organism on Earth that can grow four times in 20 hours, so its application value is very high. Common species in my country include Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Chlorella vulgaris, etc. Among them, Chlorella pyrenoidosa has a high protein content [2] and the highest nutritional value.
Chlorella is a high-quality green nutrient source food. Its main nutrients are even better than some major foods. It has the advantages of high protein, low fat, low sugar, low calories, rich vitamins and mineral elements, and has some special medical and health functions. Therefore, Chlorella is a high-quality healthy food source for food additives and health foods.
Chlorella has a high protein content, but the nutrients vary depending on the algae strain, culture method and culture medium. Chlorella has a rich protein content, a complete range of amino acids and a ratio close to the standard model, which can fully meet the growth needs of humans and animals. It is an excellent single-cell protein source and can be used as a nutritional enhancer in the food industry. When used, it should be noted that it should be used in combination with methionine, cystine and threonine to further improve its nutritional value through amino acid complementation.
Polysaccharide is a biological macromolecule widely present in animal cell membranes, plant and microbial cell walls, and is one of the four basic substances of life. Chlorella polysaccharide has the function of enhancing immune activity. The special function of this nutrient of Chlorella makes it used in the field of medical and health care. The chlorella was extracted with hot water, deproteinized, and precipitated with ethanol to obtain crude glycoprotein, and the crude glycoprotein was chromatographed with Sephadex-75 to obtain pure glycoprotein. After comparison with the monosaccharide components, the chlorella glycoprotein mainly contains glucose, galactose, and rhamnose, and their ratio is 7.3:1.97:1. In addition, it also contains a small amount of arabinose, xylose, and mannose. However, the components of monosaccharides extracted from different extracts will be different.
The main function of fat is to form biological membranes, provide energy, and serve as a medium for fat-soluble substances. Epidemiology has shown that polyunsaturated fatty acids are beneficial to health. At present, the most representative unsaturated fatty acid is arachidonic acid, which can be synthesized from essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid, and has physiological activities such as lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, and resisting atherosclerosis. The results of the nutritional analysis of heterotrophic protein nucleus Chlorella showed that the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in heterotrophic protein nucleus Chlorella powder was as high as 77.24%, and the chain length was concentrated in C16-C18, among which the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid were 47.17% and 13.03% respectively, which is rare in other foods. Therefore, these nutritional elements of Chlorella give it special health functions. In addition, it is worth mentioning that compared with the protein content, the fat content of Chlorella can be said to be relatively low, and it can be used as a high-protein and low-fat food.
Chlorella is also rich in vitamins and minerals. The vitamins and minerals contained in 20g of Chlorella powder are approximately equivalent to the content of 1kg of ordinary vegetables.
