Tuning bioactive compound recovery from Chlorella vulgaris through surfactant-assisted ethanol extraction under microwave and pressurized liquid technologies

Chlorella vulgaris is a promising source of bioactive compounds such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), pigments, and antioxidants, whose recovery strongly depends on extraction conditions. In this context, surfactant-assisted extraction remains poorly explored for microalga...
