ABSTRACT
Initiated by lndo-German cooperation on large-scale cultivation of microalgae,
aspects of production, processing and utilization of the blue-green
alga (cyanobacterium ) Spirulina platensis were studied with regard to Indian
conditions, with the immediate objective of utilizing the algal biomass at
rural levels as animal feed. Thus, simple techniques involving less energy and
capital were tested for their suitability. The algal material produced was
analyzed for its chemical composition, nutritional quality, supplementary
value and toxicological safety. The results obtained demonstrated that
Spirulina represents an unobjectionable source of unconventional protein of
good quality. Short-term feeding tests with rats did not reveal any negative
symptoms which would impair the utilization of Spirulina as food or feed.
