รายละเอียด : Cell wall is a physical barrier and an unavailable food or feed constituent in industrial
applications. Various pretreatment methods (microwave irradiation, ultrasonication, gamma
irradiation and electron beam irradiation) were used to improve the nutritive values of
cyanobacterial cells. The pretreatment by microwave irradiation at least maintained (lipid, fiber,
ash, nitrogen free extract and gross energy) or even improved (protein and neutral detergent
fiber) the chemical composition, relative to other tested pretreatments. All pretreatments caused
slight changes in the nutritive profile. Microwaving improved also various physicochemical
properties in relation to hydrolytic capacity, namely turbidity, microstructure, thermal transition
characteristics, and relative crystallinity. These
