Abstract:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for improving characteristics of plants and soil by administering an effective amount of a microalgae-based composition in low concentration applications.
Abstract:
Methods of producing high purity palmitoleic acid esters from natural oils are disclosed. The natural oils may comprise plant oil, nut oil, microalgae oil, and fish oil. The methods of processing the natural oil comprise transesterification with ethanol as the reacting solvent to produce ethyl esters. Methods of producing a high purity fraction of Omega-3, 6, & 9 fatty acid esters from natural oils are also disclosed. The high purity fatty acid esters may be used in nutrition, cosmetic, and nutraceutical products.
Abstract:
Disclosed here are compositions rich in omega-7 fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid, and products rich in omega-7 fatty acids derived from algal biomass. The algae and/or compositions rich in omega-7 fatty acids may be used in products or as ingredients of products. Methods and systems for increasing the production or concentration of omega-7 fatty acids, and isolating omega-7 fatty acids from algal biomass are also disclosed herein.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Methods of improving the yield and quality of plants in the Solanaceae family by administering an effective amount of a mixotrophic Chlorella based liquid composition in low concentration and low frequency applications are disclosed. The administration may comprise soil or foliar applications of the composition.
Abstract:
Methods of producing fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) using a direct transesterification process are described. The direct transesterification process uses low levels of chemical solvents, acid catalysts, and heating energy to produce the FAEE in a method with increased efficiency in a co-solvent system. The FAEE produced may be used in a variety of products including health, beauty, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products.
Abstract:
Methods of improving characteristics of plants and soil by administering an effective amount of a Gracilaria based composition in low concentration applications are disclosed.
