Enhancement of Lipid Extraction from Marine Microalga, Scenedesmus Associated with High-Pressure Homogenization Process
Figure 3
Comparison of the confocal laser microscopic images of Scenedesmus sp. illustrates the Nile red stained residual cellular lipid droplets after being extracted by five different extraction solvents including the control; (a) control (not extracted with any solvent), (b) acetone, (c) 95% hexane, (d) hexane : ether (1 : 1, v/v), (e) 70% ethanol, and (f) chloroform : methanol (2 : 1, v/v).
