Investigation on protein extraction from algae using low voltage pulsed electric field

Extraction of specific biological components like protein from microalgae is often prevented by the intrinsic rigidity of the cell wall. Therefore, cell wall disruption is required to permit access to the internal components of the cells. The purpose of this study is to extract protein from microalg...
