摘要: Aquatic biomass, particularly microalgae and duckweed, presents a promising and sustainable alternative source of plant-based protein and bioactive compounds for food and feed applications. This review highlights the nutritional potential of these aquatic species, focusing on their high protein content, rapid growth rates, and adaptability to nonarable environments. Microalgae, such as Chlorella and Arthrospira spp., and duckweed, such as Lemna minor, are evaluated for their functional food applications, including their roles as protein supplements, bioactive components, antioxidants, and emulsifiers in food formulations. The study also examines their environmental benefits, including wastewater bioremediation, nutrient recycling, and greenhouse gas mitigation, which contribute to a more sustainable agricultural system. Technological advancements in the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of microalgae and duckweed are discussed to enhance their scalability and economic feasibility in food and feed production. The findings suggest that integrating microalgae and duckweed into agricultural and food systems can significantly improve food security, nutritional outcomes, and sustainability. Future research should focus on optimizing cultivation efficiencies, advancing protein extraction techniques, and expanding the applications of aquatic biomass in various food products.
