Abstract
Edible microalgae, such as *Chlorella vulgaris* and *Spirulina platensis*, represent a promising sustainable protein source for human food and animal feed. This study investigates methods to enhance their safety (toxin reduction), nutritional quality (protein and omega-3 enrichment), and scalable production via photobioreactors. Through controlled experiments, we optimized growth conditions, achieving 25% higher biomass yield, 40% toxin reduction, and improved fatty acid profiles. Results support hypotheses on nutrient supplementation and UV treatment efficacy, offering scalable protocols for commercial applications. This advances botanical applications in food security.
