impair its biological activities. By virtue of this problem, techniques for increasing
the stability of microalgal compounds are of paramount importance.
In view of the above, the microencapsulation of microalgae and its by-products
have been extensively researched and used as an efficient way to aid in increasing
the stability of pigments. Microencapsulation protects the substances involved
in the process without loss of biological properties. That is, when applied to
microalgae, encapsulation techniques allow the biological activities of the pigments
to remain protected from adverse conditions. Thus, the microencapsulation process is
promising in this sense, offering protection to the microalgae, facilitating the handling
and transportation, besides increasing stability and efficiency in the delivery of highly
sensitive by-products, proving to be also an effective and suitable process for such
compounds.
