This review paper details current production of microalgae globally and isolated microalgal proteins and peptides and their associated health benefits, as well as details concerning microalgal lipids, vitamins and minerals. The use of microalgae in feed is discussed, along with potential uses in other applications such as cosmetics and functional foods. Microalgae are a known source of proteins, prebiotics, lipids, small molecules, anti-oxidants and bioactives with health benefits that can be harnessed for the development of functional foods, feeds, cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals. This review collates information on the supply, processing costs, target markets and value of microalgae, as well as microalgal proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals. It discusses the potential impact that microalgae could have on global food and feed supply and highlights gaps that exist with regards to the use of microalgal proteins and ingredients as foods and supplements.
