sunlight through the process of

photosynthesis

it grows and grows in warm water

alkaline ponds and rivers protein as one

of the important components in the diet

it is one of the best possible sources

of protein spirulina protein has grown

commercially in large scale culture

systems for human and animal consumption

spirulina has a protein content of 40 to

80 percent and has a very high growth

rate

for its growth it requires less water

land and can grow in any climate in

tropical regions

spirulina in wet or dry form is used as

a dietary supplement in commercial

aquaculture such as fish shrimp and

livestock

market opportunity for spirulina the

to register a cagr of 10 during the

forecast period

and is estimated to be valued at nearly

2 000 million dollars by 2026 from more

than 700 million dollars in 2016 growing

containers to create pollution-free

spirulina

by 1.5 feet

a pump is also required to draw water

and pump in water to the tank

it should be efficiently able to pump

off water as that's the amount required

which will be filled up to a height of

two to three feet in the tank

apart from these you require thermometer

ph sensors air compressors for checking

various growing conditional parameters

it to the water tanks

along with mother culture we should also

and fertilizer and appropriate mixture

we should make sure that the container

with spirulina gets enough sunshine

with proper sunshine spirulina will take

a minimum of 10 to 15 days to develop

in the cold season of the winter season

it will take some extra days to develop

during this process once in a while i

have to agitate the water with agitators

all along with the stick

make sure that there is no contamination

during the process

this is how you have to start spirulina

cultivation in cement or plastic water

tanks

preparation of spirulina powder after

cultivation collected spirulina is well

washed after cleaning the water content

is removed by pressing or squeezing and

is ready to dry

spirulina when dried will last for

several months and may also preserve

nutrients

for quick drying the spirulina is placed

inside a pressed grater and then pressed

into thin strands on a long clean cloth

under the sun

it helps in quick drying the spirulina

is now ready for grinding grinding

machines can be used for the grinding of

dried algae to make it like a flower

spirulina is grounded and made into a

soft powder which is then packaged with

various weights and seal for marketing

vacuum dried and airtight packing will

preserve nutritional properties for

three to four years

give only 100 grams of dry powder

based on this an average of 20 tank

spirulina agribusiness produces four to

five kilograms of dry spirulina powder
